Review of My Last Night of Freedom

Adam tells of stealing his mother’s car a couple days before being sent away to prison, and his telling is refreshingly matter-of-fact and unsentimental. It’s sort of like listening to a four-minute teen Edward Bunker novel. This is the kind of piece that makes you feel once again what a great medium readio is for personal story-telling. The use of music is unconventional and works really nicely, too; it might even help public radio to reach a younger demographic.
