Steven Hall, The Raw Shark Texts: AudioBook
In this AudioBook podcast, we’re going to be hearing British actor Jack Davenport, who
many of us will know from The Talented Mr. Ripley, and Pirates of the Caribbean, reading from Steven Hall’s debut novel, The Raw Shark Texts. The Raw Shark Texts takes us into the life of Eric Sanderson, a young man who wakes up one day, and has absolutely no idea of who he is or where he came from. While Eric stumbles around trying to piece together his life, he starts receiving messages from his former self. The old Eric, warns the new Eric, that he ’s being relentlessly pursued by a Word Shark, a terrifying creature that exists in the flows and streams of language, as well as human interaction.
While Eric flees from the shark, he’s forced to deal with a potentially dodgy psychiatrist, as well as what really happened to Clio, the love of his life, and in so doing, he finds himself delving into the recesses of humanity’s collective memory.
