Behind the Mic with AudioFile MagazineONLY STARS KNOW THE MEANING OF SPACE by Rémy Ngamije, read by Janina Edwards, Aaron Goodson, Dennis Kleinman, Anthony OseyemiHost Jo Reed is joined by AudioFile’s Stephen Cummings, who dives into this absorbing look at contemporary Namibian life. Loosely threaded together into "A" and "B" sides, like a mixtape, the material has a natural rhythm. Anthony Oseyemi portrays the brash writer-on-the-make voice of the "A-side," which recounts how his dreams of becoming a successful writer were confounded by his struggles with women. The "B-side" provides the compelling backbone to the audiobook's themes of growth and survival.
