At first, the piece is a little disorienting. Is the ambi natural? Did the producer interview the guest on a beach? Then it's clear that the sounds are a poetic accompaniment to the story, story that starts open and anonymous and soon becomes particular, vivid, and devastating. Greg's details were enough to bring me to tears, and I only wish I knew more: We need an introduction that tells the listener who Isabelle was, who Greg is, and what prompted him to share his story.
