DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. Un scriitor (întâmplător sau nu, având același nume cu autorul) duce o existență cât se poate de mulțumitoare: singurul conflict autentic din viața lui, după cum ne anunță chiar de la început, este încăpățânarea de a scrie, când, după toate aparențele, nu are de ce. În lipsă de alte frământări, observă în tihnă lumea din jur și începe să ne povestească pe un ton firesc lucruri banale care i se întâmplă, în cartier și prin împrejurimi: o vizită la o clinică de gastroenterologie, prezentarea unor cursuri de scriere creativă la o librărie sau un drum la frizer.
