MEMORYTOWN - An Irish Memoir
A true story told as an immersive audiobook.
By twenty-five, I had lost my father, brother, and mother.
I ran. I disappeared. I started again.
This is that story.
Chapter One. A Wayward Tralee Teenager
A boy who used to feel invincible.
Then a phone call punctures life, and death appears for the first time.
Childhood comforts, bad decisions, and a friend’s sudden loss collide.

Thank you.
Really powerful work. Heartbreaking and yet hilarious. Literary and yet stark. A fantastic portrayal of the bewildering nature of being a young man, the pressure to fit into a desirable archetype, the (at the time) mundane moments that retrospectively contained meaning that will be ruminated upon for a lifetime. I've really been enjoying listening to this and I will continue to follow the work of this artist.
Absolutely captivating. The uniquely descriptive audio gives a real fly on the wall insight to the life changing scenarions taking place in the author's story.
