What to expect

The mighty river has broken. Everyone wants to get to the other side. Ain’t that always the way?

Multiaward-winning voice talent Robin Miles doesn’t just read this taut, comic, poetic, searching narrative, she inhabits the characters like they are part of her soul, from Katie’s mother to Jensen P. Jensen to Dan Dan the Wandering Man.

Author Brian Price and Robin Miles have worked together many times before (2017 Audie Award winner for Best Drama, In the Embers), and once again collaborate in this lyrical, restless search for the mud and the mist that make America.

Critics Review

“Robin Miles throws herself into the narration of this lyrical novella with enthusiastic flair…Miles crafts an astonishing array of voices to portray the inhabitants of the mysterious town…Listeners will be swept into a story that starts as chaos and in the end fits together into a strange but enthralling whole.”

“Stunning, it’s really wonderful…Robin was so good, she breathed it, she lived it.  A fine piece of writing too.  Hats off to you.”

Tom Lopez, CEO, ZBS Productions

“A poetic allegory that we will all recognize as the current state of affairs in our world…[Price] never disappoints with his comic meditations on his own private America.”

Marjorie Van Halteren, Peabody Award–winning sound artist

The Wrong Side of the River is filled with marvelous stories as each passage and poem pulls you in and makes you ponder. These works cannot be rushed, and as you wade deeper into the River, you will find yourself savoring each story and reveling in each tale, all of which beg the question as to what lies on the other side.”

Eyad Yehyawi, Crimson Arrows
