This audio version is beautyfully read and really drew me in. I will certainly have to read it by my self to understand the structure and some details even better but just listening to it evoked a wealth of fantastic images and deeply felt emotions.
This is one of the most poetic pieces of fantastic fiction I've encountered so far.
Thanks! You just made a new fan.

Oh, I should probably have posted this after the last part. I did refer to the whole story/performance which I swallowed in one go.
