    Friends of Whitmore

    Written by Michael Famighetti

    Narrated by Alexander Cendese

    ()

    About this audiobook

    Alex works in a gallery in the small Connecticut town where he moved after inheriting his parents’ house. One day, at a local CPR class, he meets Tea, a young woman and aspiring artist who invents a mutual acquaintance named Whitmore as a means of breaking the ice and introducing herself. As their relationship deepens, Alex becomes preoccupied with imagining who Whitmore might be, considering Whitmore to be a paragon of masculine perfection. But when the Whitmore myth begins to unravel, so does Alex’s relationship with Tea.

    A charming story about how we relate to each other and the devices we sometimes invent in order to make sense of the world around us.

      It’s been 10 years since the publication of my book A Natural History of Ghosts (see FT296:42-45). I probably should have written more in it about the writer Charles Dickens. The truth is I’ve always had a special place in my heart for Dickens. I rea
