10 Irreverent Audiobooks for Cool Moms

Here’s something to gift yourself this Mother’s Day: a literary date with Miranda July. And by literary date, we mean Miranda’s voice in your ear reading her whip-smart, dead-sexy, sneakily hilarious novel All Fours. Or, if you’re in the mood for some witchery, press play on Marie NDiaye’s spellbinding (quite literally) novel The Witch, recently shortlisted for the International Booker Prize. And for pure sunshine and belly laughs, This American Woman, written and read by comedian Zarna Garg, is our pick for instant joy; we dare you to listen to Zarna without a smile on your face. It can’t be done.

Sensing a theme? Our Mother’s Day audiobook playlist is all about wild and hungry voices—voices that explore what it feels like to mother, be mothered, and mother ourselves while living a full and bodacious human life.
