Like Crazy by Dan Mathews, Read by the Author

Every Monday through Friday, AudioFile’s editors recommend the best in audiobook listening. We keep our daily episodes short and sweet, with audiobook clips to give you a sample of our featured listens.

Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss Dan Mathews’s entertaining memoir Like Crazy, about caring for his elderly mother in a raggedy old Virginia house. His voice is full of quiet amusement as he recounts the ups and downs of life with his larger-than-life mom, which includes spontaneous costume parties, vegan feasts, and home improvement mishaps. His lively, heartfelt performance adds a lot of depth to a lighthearted but ultimately moving book about a complicated mother-son relationship.
