T. S. Eliot
Read by Elizabeth Klett
The Waste Land is T. S. Eliot's Modernist masterpiece, first published in 1920.

After being disappointed with the first version I found and abandoning it, this is far far better. I could feel my memory flowing along with it.

The mournful voice of the female is an annoyance and inappropriate. No wonder so many boys in school never appreciated this genius of TS Eliot.
Superb

This was very well done. It can be hard to stay engaged with this story but Elizabeth reads it so naturally.
Absolutely gorgeous!
