01 May, by Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center in Adult Readers, Audio, Black/African American, British, European, Fiction, Indian American, Memoir, Nonfiction, Repost, South Asian American

The one thing in life that’s guaranteed is, well, death. But books are certainly a lasting legacy. And sometimes, when we get the books after their creator has passed on, an audiobook can breathe life into the text, animating from beyond. Here, we have a handful...

Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese

23 Jun, by Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center in Adult Readers, African, Audio, Fiction, Indian African, Indian American, South Asian American
