The DiDomenico Fragment
Mixed feelings on this one. All the elements I loved in the former stories are still there, but this one just seemed to lack the charm of the others. That might just be my life interfering while I read though, and me being unable to really appreciate it. Anyway, looks like I’m done with the short stories and on to the novella!

The Bootlegger
Ahhh the narrator changed!! Didn’t like the narrator at first but she grew on me.
Hated Tommy, what a prat. But overall I loved this story. Loved Mr. Fine and the Carnegie Hall setting, makes me want to go listen to some classical music.
But also, how do people just know “hey this piece of classical music is Bach”, if they didn’t really study it?

I Will Survive
I liked it OK. writing and narration is still fantastic, and I’m discovering that I really like the short story format. This particular story didn’t do it for me. I didn’t love the characters or their actions, but listening to John tell Jeremy his backstory was endearing. Amor Towles is great at writing intriguing little old men characters!

Hasta Luego
Loved it.
Still loving the writing. What a talented narrator too, same guy I assume? It was completely different and unique in this story but just as great as the others. This story was a little heartbreaking and a little like watching a train wreck. I love the short story format for it though, I think had it been a full novel it would lose some of its charm. That being said, I want to know more!

Going to try to comment after each story, since I know by the end of the audio book I’ll forget!
New York: The Line
Loved it. Loved the characters and the portrayal of Bolshevik Russia, and the coming to America. The writing and audio narration were perfect.
Ballad of Timothy Touchett
Liked it. I still love the writing and audio narration. This one wasn’t as endearing, Timothy is just an idiot.
