About this listen

Step back into the poetic world of Thomas Wolfe with An Angel on the Porch, a poignant short story originally published in Scribner's Magazine in August 1929. This captivating narrative serves as an integral part of Wolfe's larger autobiographical work, "Look Homeward, Angel," and echoes themes of memory, loss, and the search for meaning.

In this enchanting audiobook, acclaimed narrator Mike Vendetti brings Wolfe's evocative prose to life with his rich, expressive voice, drawing listeners into the intimate reflections of the characters. The story centers around a stone angel that graces the porch of a tombstone shop in Asheville, North Carolina, serving as a powerful symbol of the interconnectedness of life and death.

With Vendetti's masterful storytelling, each word resonates with emotional depth, inviting you to ponder the tender moments shared between the living and the memories of those who have passed. As you listen, you'll be transported to a time and place where the past lingers like a cherished dream, revealing the beauty and fragility of existence.

Join Mike Vendetti for a transformative listening experience that captures the essence of Wolfe's narrative artistry. An Angel on the Porch promises to linger in your heart long after the final word is spoken.
