The circumstances surrounding his death added to the mystery of a life that defied expectations, but left many questions unanswered.<\/p>\n<p>Now, more than 30 years later, Eugenides tells the story of how his father, a first-generation American, rose from Detroit\u2019s east side to find financial success as a mortgage banker and real estate developer\u2013only to lose it all. Was he the victim of a series of bad breaks, or did his dogged pursuit of the American Dream lead him to overextend and overreach? And, ironically, what role did the U.S. government play in bringing ruin to this most patriotic of citizens?<\/p>\n<p>Written in an engaging style more direct than that of his novels, Eugenides appears here unmasked to deliver a moving account of his relationship with his indomitable father, a man for whom he felt admiration, exasperation, gratitude, tenderness, pity and love. Read by the author, this deeply personal audio journey invites listeners to join Eugenides as he finally confronts the truth of his father&#8217;s last flight.<\/p>\n<p>Additional narration provided by Barrett Leddy, Neil Hellegers, and Vikas Adam.<\/p>\n<h3>Icarus<\/h3>\n<p>A True Story<br \/>\nBy: Jeffrey Eugenides<br \/>\nNarrated by: Jeffrey Eugenides<br \/>\nLength: 3 hrs and 12 mins<br \/>\nRelease date: 11-06-25<br \/>\nLanguage: English<br \/>\nFormat and Bitrate: M4B@125 kbps<br \/>\nSize: 175.02 MB<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rapidgator.net\/file\/477eb18b0f743e66afbd6952b9e8de92\/Icarus__A_True_Story_[B0FVHMP82Y].m4b.html\"><strong>Download from RAPIDGATOR<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/transfer.it\/t\/yciiEi5DXbjK\"><strong>Download from TRANSFER.it<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of\u00a0Middlesex\u00a0and\u00a0The Virgin Suicides\u00a0comes an intimate memoir of his father\u2019s spectacular rise\u2013and tragic end.
