The Latecomer

fullDescription

"Golden Voice Julia Whelan expertly narrates the unhappy story of the wealthy Oppenheimer family of New York. Whelan narrates as though she were acting out the Oppenheimers' history on stage, playing each character part." -AudioFile on The Latecomer

This program is masterfully narrated by award-winning "Golden Voice" narrator Julia Whelan.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Plot, Jean Hanff Korelitz's The Latecomer is a layered and immersive literary novel about three siblings, desperate to escape one another, and the upending of their family by the late arrival of a fourth.
The Latecomer follows the story of the wealthy, New York City-based Oppenheimer family, from the first meeting of parents Salo and Johanna, under tragic circumstances, to their triplets born during the early days of IVF. As children, the three siblings – Harrison, Lewyn, and Sally – feel no strong familial bond and cannot wait to go their separate ways, even as their father becomes more distanced and their mother more desperate. When the triplets leave for college, Johanna, faced with being truly alone, makes the decision to have a fourth child. What role will the "latecomer" play in this fractured family?
A complex novel that builds slowly and deliberately, The Latecomer touches on the topics of grief and guilt, generational trauma, privilege and race, traditions and religion, and family dynamics. It is a profound and witty family story from an accomplished author, known for the depth of her character studies, expertly woven storylines, and plot twists.

     Starred review from March 21, 2022
     Korelitz (The Plot) returns with an irresistible dramedy of errors about a singularly unhappy family. There’s no love lost among Salo and Johanna Oppenheimer’s triplets as they head off to college in 2000. Harrison, “the smart one”; Lewyn, “the weird one”; and Sally, “the girl,” each have their own separate ambitions. Then there’s Phoebe, “the latecomer,” born that June from the Oppenheimers’ leftover frozen embryo. The strife in the couple’s difficult marriage originates in the 1970s, when they were students at Cornell. Salo was driving a Jeep that rolled over, killing his girlfriend, Mandy Bernstein, and a fraternity brother. Salo and Johanna, a friend of Mandy’s, bond in common grief, but quickly realize they have little else to connect them, and, indeed, as time goes on, Salo loves art more than he does his wife or their children. He becomes a collector of outsider art, stashing his spoils in a warehouse while his family enjoys a privileged life on the Brooklyn Heights waterfront. While Sally and Lewyn sort out their lives at Cornell, and Harrison at an ultraconservative two-year college, Salo makes regular trips to the West Coast to visit a documentary filmmaker he admires, whose life was also shaped by the fateful accident. A birthday clambake on Martha’s Vineyard in early September 2001 sets the stage for a cataclysmic culmination that uncovers a series of festering, self-destructive lies. Korelitz builds several satisfying twists into the crisp and panoramic narrative, and a coda from high schooler Phoebe in 2017 offers an acute look at the family affairs. This is a sizzler.

   • content: Golden Voice Julia Whelan expertly narrates the unhappy story of the wealthy Oppenheimer family of New York. From the parents' struggling marriage to the lack of sibling bonding among the IVF triplets and the children's outright disdain for their parents, Whelan's narration creates specific voices, pitches, cadences, and accents where needed for all the characters, both major and minor. By the time the fourth child is born, the listener is so compelled by this family that they're desperate for resolution. Whelan narrates as though she were acting out the Oppenheimers' history on stage, playing each character part. She paints the background detail as vividly as she does the characters. L.M.G.
