This is an interesting attempt that for me is a moderate success. Framed by some lyrical writing and evocative imagery, the piece describes how the former Soviet Union destroyed one of the world's biggest lakes with a thoughtless, aggressive agricultural scheme. We hear no audio from the place being described except for the whoosh of the wind; this is essentially a print travel essay read with accompanying music. It?s a tough thing to pull off for more than a few minutes, but Ms. Dornhelm makes it work pretty well thanks to her fine writing and engaging delivery.
