Life Among the Terranauts – Audiobook Online

Life Among the Terranauts is a literary fiction book by author Caitlin Horrocks.
Caitlin Horrocks returns with a much-anticipated collection of short stories. In her signature, genre-defying style, she disrupts our notions of what a story can do and where it can take us.
In “Sleep,” reprinted in America’s Best Short Story, the inhabitants of a cold Midwestern town decide to hibernate through a harsh winter. Title story, half a dozen people move to an experimental biome for a million dollars, if they can survive for two years. In The New Yorker, a young woman meets her grandmother’s roommate after her death and tries to solve the mystery of whether the two women were lovers.

Horrocks is a master of “wild but delicately handled satire”, an “extreme heartbreak” with which she can “blend a tender note in the desolate”. With its incredible range – from Norwegian spoilers to Peruvian tour guides – Life Among the Terranauts has once again enthralled readers, cementing Horrocks’ reputation as one of the best leading young writers of our time.

The stories in Life Among the Terranauts by Caitlin Horrocks are filled with people puzzling over their lives in a world that holds more questions than answers; they don’t even know what questions to ask; they try to master the words themselves. They hold onto the past; they try to escape; they risk going into the unknown; they make a new start.

I lived in the aura of the first story, The Sleep, for days.

“Bounty was an assertion, an act of faith. It looked best when left unexamined.” ~from Life Among the Terranauts by Caitlin Horrocks
“Our children came home and told us that we were the suckers of the last century,” living in a town with no future and no prospects. Immigrants had come for the free land, and stayed out of pure persistence.
