Author Augusten Burroughs discusses his new audiobook "A Wolf at the Table" in this video from Macmillan Audio. I am glad that audiobooks for grown-ups are experimenting with music & sound effects. But audiobooks for the under-18 crowd have long featured the audio rendition of text with added music & effects. Even the Caldecott-winning, 550 page novel in words and pictures, "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" was re-imagined as an audiobook featuring music & sound effects - albeit with some puzzled comments on Roger Sutton's blog. Including a response post by the author on the topic. Listen to a brief review from Audiofile magazine & an audio clip here.
