Love to hear the audiobook read by the author - in this case the remarkable voice of Mavis Staples herself. This audiobook would add richness and depth to the paper version if played in a read-along companion style to the paper copy. 

I loved the peek into the communities and culture. I would definitely read another book about their next 15 years. 

Woah - I’d say stick with it. It’s worth it. At times I was annoyed by all the narrative exposition. The inner life of the main character was interesting, but not soooo much that I needed that level Of detail. But it pays off in the end.  

I’d recommend “Mostly Dead Things” as a good first read by this author. Her books were recommended to me on a list of “Weird” books - with other titles like Big Swiss, Night Bitch. If you liked those, you may like this one.
