Morris Magellan wakes one morning to find himself stuck in a corporate job and living the suburban dream with a wife and two children, except this dream feels like a nightmare. Out of his depth and starting to drift from reality, we meet Morris at the precipice. Bit by bit he is losing his struggle with addiction - he just doesn't know it yet. His only solace and escape from suburban family life and corporate duties is music and alcohol. His life is soundtracked with symphonies and concertos, every note, and every drink, carries him from moment to moment hoping to salvage something of himself before that too slips from his grasp. Harrowing but compellingly written, with humour and compassion, The Sound of My Voice is a stylistic masterpiece that presents conflict between a man's cowardice and cruelty, and a desperate attempt to recover his humanity.

I found this story to be the hardest "best' book I've ever read. It was so difficult to watch the disintegration of this man. And narrating in the 2nd person is a touch of genius because you not only see him fall apart, but you're an intimate partner in his thoughts. This is a truly amazing piece of writing. I donated my copy to my local library when I finished just to make sure others have the opportunity to read this.
