Summary:

As heard on NPR—a wondrous nationwide celebration of our shared humanity

StoryCorps founder and legendary radio producer Dave Isay selects the most memorable stories from StoryCorps’ collection, creating a moving portrait of American life.

The voices here connect us to real people and their lives—to their experiences of profound joy, sadness, courage, and despair, to good times and hard times, to good deeds and misdeeds. To read this book is to be reminded of how rich and varied the American storybook truly is, how resistant to easy categorization or stereotype. We are our history, individually and collectively, and Listening Is an Act of Love touchingly reminds us of this powerful truth.

Customer Reviews:

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars 

So satisfying

Customer Rating:  5 out of 5 stars 

Having always loved the interview style of Studs Terkel, I devoured this book of interviews with real people from every strata. There's something about the intimacy of these one-on-one's with very regular people that gave me a happy & sad-at-the-same-time feeling. Everybody has meaningful stories to tell, not just people in the media.

I love this book!

Customer Rating:  5 out of 5 stars 

The Storycorps project is an amazing idea. This is the USA! God Bless us All! This is what we are about---the real people.

Listening Is an Act of Love

Customer Rating:  3 out of 5 stars 

It was interesting to hear the stories that others shared. I was expecting longer stories about many topics.

wonderful!

Customer Rating:  5 out of 5 stars 

I bought this for my father's 79th birthday. He loved it! He's rationing himself to one story per day to make it last longer. The narratives here are delightful.

Stories You Could Learn From

Customer Rating:  5 out of 5 stars 

There is a story for everyone in this book. This book is composed of stories from regular people like you and me, and even if you didn't like all of the book, there has to be at LEAST one story that touched you, or made you laugh, or think or feel SOME emotion. Of course there were some stories that I liked more than others.

What I would have liked to read though was an interview of a person who looked middle-eastern and how they were treated after the 9/11 attacks.
