About Literary Criticism
Typically, literary criticism analyzes both contemporary and classic works in the form of a review, essay or book. The advent of audiobooks has opened an avenue into this intellectual genre where experts discuss and interpret the best literary fiction. As a result, we get to hear authors, academics, and radio hosts discuss works – think panels, literary festivals, and recorded audio critiques. One way to dive deeper in your understanding of the best literary fiction audiobooks is through the Thalia Book Club, part of the Symphony Space Audio recordings where performers read parts of the novel and a host, and the author (if still living) discuss the themes and format of the book. Who wouldn’t want to hear what Amor Towles has to say about his superb A Gentleman in Moscow? You’ll be surprised at not just the range of audiobooks for literary analysis but the content. Reading Like a Writer will inspire you to return to literature with a fresh eye to marvel at spectacular sentences, breathtaking paragraphs, plotting through dialogue, and more. No matter how you like to learn, literary criticism audiobooks are the perfect way to enrich your reading experience.
