Review of The Life and
Times of Penguin,
Eugie Foster's Short Story read on Escape Pod Audio
By Joseph W. Dickerson

At the recent signing at Oxford Comics in Atlanta, Georgia, I was fortunate enough to get my hand on a copy of the Escape Pod reading of Eugie Foster’s The Life and Times of Penguin. This impressive little tale features Penguin, a balloon animal, striving to understand the world in which he was created. Once again Eugie Foster proves, beyond a doubt, that she is truly a prolific writer with the ability to craft an interesting story from any topic.

As an added bonus, the story is read by the talented Mur Lafferty. Her voice adds life to the characters and gives each a distinct personality. From the gloomy Ducky to the melancholy Fairy, Mur’s talent shines through magnificently.

Feel free to check out Escape Pod at their website, www.escapepod.org to listen to this and other such works, and check out Eugie Foster’s works, documented at her official website, www.eugiefoster.com. At the end you’ll be glad you did.
