All the Rage: A Quest Audiobook (Free)

A moving and surprisingly crazy memoir about finding the right stability between anger and compassion

“As to why aren’t you upset?” people often asked Martin Moran after he told his story of how he found forgive the person who sexually abused him like a boy. Initially, the issue pissed him off. Then, it begun to haunt him. Why didn’t he have significantly more anger? Why experienced he never searched for redress for the criminal offense committed against him? Was his fury hidden, buried? Was he not really man enough? Right here he was, a grown-up in middle- about All the Rage: A Goal life, with a recognised acting career, a husband. A life. And yet the query of rage begun to obsess him.

As the narrative jumps from dream to memory space to theory, from Colorado to NY to Johannesburg, Moran takes us along on his quest to understand the function of rage inside our lives. Translating for an asylum seeker and survivor of torture, he miracles how the man is not consumed with the wrong done him, only to shortly thereafter find himself within a outrageous confrontation along with his fuming stepmother at his father’s funeral. He admires a pedestrian’s furious put-down of the careless driver, and, observing with several sex therapists at an S&M dungeon, he discovers himself unexpectedly relocated by the intimacy from the interchanges. Trekking the Rockies with his stressed younger brother, he’s faced with the anger and the love that appear to exist concurrently and in identical measure between them.

With each encounter, we move more deeply in to the human complexities in the centre of this publication: into how exactly we wrong and are wronged, how exactly we seek redress but also forgiveness, how exactly we yearn to fix what we think broken in us and liberate ourselves from what’s past. It really is in this surroundings of aged wounds and complicated adores that Moran displays us how rage may fulfill compassion and our traumas unexpectedly open us towards the humanity of others.

“Moran brings his appealing acting skills and eager sensitivity to the delicate ebb and stream of his story’s pathos. He’s absolutely engaging to hear, and his functionality gracefully amounts the moderation of an objective storyteller using the first-person intensity of an author-narrated memoir.”-Audiofile Magazine (Earphones Award Winner)
