He brings a calm, assured delivery to his audiobook work, with a particular talent for making dialogue feel natural without overplaying the characters. His narration of Elizabeth Strout’s The Things We Never Say is a good example: understated, clear and beautifully judged.
He also narrated Emma Cline’s Switzy, where his subtle handling of David’s dementia and increasingly uncertain experience of the world is outstanding.
