Narrator

Ralph Lister

Born in one of the unlikeliest of places – on the desk of the British High Commissioner in New Delhi, India – native British stage and film actor Ralph Lister lives happily in whatever reality he finds himself. His exhilarating, Audie-nominated work as an audiobook narrator and as a Grand Award stage actor has led him into the delightful and frequently strange worlds of the characters which he bounds into life as an in-demand audiobook narrator. Men, women, the young, the old, in all their wonderful humanity and accents - Ralph plays these with gusto and panache, as if the careers he had before settling in America somehow saw to it that these characters could be authentically formed out of the joys of personal success and the agonies of personal failure. Ralph has now narrated close to 100 audiobooks, and directed 13 others, across all genres of the audiobook world (both fiction and non-fiction). Hired and re-hired by audiobook publishing clients, large, medium, and small, he mainly records out of his professional-grade home studio, with Gabby-cat as his companion and first audience. Much more, including listener comments and a list of Ralph’s recorded audiobooks, may be found at RalphListerVoice.com, and via Google. Now also an American citizen, Ralph shares his time between his homes in Michigan and Los Angeles, where he also continues his passion for on-camera acting (see Ralph on IMDb). Audio Samples Ralph Lister is a highly experienced narrator and voice artist. His narration of The Brink earned him a prestigious Audie award in 2017 and he was awarded AudioFile’s Best of Children & Family Listening in 2016 for Out of Abaton: The Wooden Prince. Ralph has recorded over 200 audibooks and has directed many others. He can usually be found in his home studio, bringing characters and stories to life.

'Both unhinged and utterly compelling, a kind of guerrilla warfare waged by art itself, combining both meticulous historical research and Miéville's unparalleled inventiveness.'
Los Angeles Times

'A fine introduction to [Miéville's] unique imagination.'
Chicago Tribune

'There's so much absurd beauty among the fauna in this story of surrealist art come to life in Nazi-occupied France ... moving and disturbingly timely.'
Newsday

A stunningly surreal alternative history of Paris, from Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author, China Miéville.

A thriller of a war that never was – of survival in an impossible city – of surreal cataclysm. In The Last Days of New Paris, China Miéville entwines true historical events and people with his daring, uniquely imaginative brand of fiction, reconfiguring history and art into something new. 1941. In the chaos of wartime Marseille, American engineer and occult disciple Jack Parsons stumbles onto a clandestine anti-Nazi group, including Surrealist theorist André Breton. In the strange games of dissident diplomats, exiled revolutionaries and avant-garde artists, Parsons finds and channels hope. But what he unwittingly unleashes is the power of dreams and nightmares, changing the war and the world for ever. 1950. A lone Surrealist fighter, Thibaut, walks a new, hallucinogenic Paris, where Nazis and the Resistance are trapped in unending conflict, and the streets are stalked by living images and texts – and by the forces of Hell. To escape the city, Thibaut must join forces with Sam, an American photographer intent on recording the ruins, and make common cause with a powerful, enigmatic figure of chance and rebellion: the exquisite corpse. But Sam is being hunted. And new secrets will emerge that will test all their loyalties – to each other, to Paris old and new and to reality itself.
