The audio version is delightful. It enhances the original text with interviews that are relevant to each section. The intimacy between Will and Ariel is a treat. Their playful arm wrestling over ideas and concepts makes for a better interview. Sure, their world view is older...although he was a radical of his time. But even for the faults, it's a delight to linger in his mind. And an honor to be in the presence of Ariel's spirit.

"The audiobook includes precious excepts of live interviews of Will and Ariel Durante. Although Will carries the bulk of the discourse, Ariel chimes in a delightful counterpoint. I'm an even bigger fangirl of Ariel than ever before."

Lori, I read a great article years ago about the love story between Will and Ariel. It was in Reader's Digest circa 1963/64.

Thanks for the tip, Susan. Always interesting to see formidable wives during an era when they were an anomaly. The handful that existed were certainly something. Eleanor Roosevelt comes to mind. I've always wanted to write something about the Duprees, an archaeologist pairing.
Thanks for capturing a good reflection on the couple's interesting dynamic.
