“A Footnote to Plato is precisely observed and amusing, playing the Platonic quest for virtue against the ethical regression of contemporary academia. Even without the Platonic material the novel is, in spirit, knowingly playful in a way that Plato would surely recognise.”
—Luke Slattery, Reclaiming Epicurus
“Brilliantly confronts one of the great—and urgent—needs of culture: to reveal the often distant power of philosophy through the warm intimacy of a page-turning story. At last, Plato comes alive in the middle of modern America.”
—John Armstrong, co-author of Art as Therapy with Alain de Botton

Why am I giving away my audiobook?
As many of you know, it’s hard enough selling books to your own audience. Now imagine selling books to random people walking by.
Right.
So I thought I’d take the pressure off by just giving it away.
Then I thought I might as well ask for reviews. I mean, who knows? Why not?
The truth is, most people don’t leave reviews. I get it. I’m not a review leaver either. I do it sometimes. But I am not, in general, what you would call a review leaver.
I think you have to be a certain type of person to even think about leaving reviews. You have to be a review leaver by nature. You know, someone who actually likes doing it. I know it sounds like a total fairy tale, but I’m not making this up. They’re out there, right now, just leaving reviews—for fun! Without anyone asking them to! I know! It’s nuts!
No, I can’t prove it. I’m going on faith here. I’m just gonna go out on a limb and say it:
I believe in them.
Review leavers are real.
Are you a review leaver?
Prove it.
If you are not a natural-born review leaver, here are some tips:
There’s no need to write a disclaimer of any sort since I’m not giving you this book on the condition that you leave a review. I’m just giving it to you and hoping you’ll take a minute of your time (literally a minute) to do me this favor.
Don’t worry about crafting your review (if you’re a review leaver by nature, I’m sure you will anyway, because you are you. Bless you.) Your time is valuable, so don’t overthink it. Just spit it out. You’re doing great. Click those stars. Click ‘em like you just don’t care. Yes-ah. I knew you could do it. That looks great. You are so freaking legit.
Thank you!

Thank you so much! I leave reviews of every book I read--including in a monthly wrap-up on my Substack pub, Defaulting to Grace. I'll Take a break from Oppenheimer and listen next week!
Have you ever considered BookBub? I see a lot of books get promoted over it. It probably costs money, but they show books based on people's expressed interests.
