In "A Meeting by the River," Oliver, a young Englishman living in a Hindu monastery, reaches out to his elder brother, Patrick, as he prepares to take his final monastic vows. Patrick, a successful publisher in Los Angeles who is newly in love, visits Oliver with the intention of urging him to reconsider renouncing worldly life. First published in 1967, this nuanced audiobook delves into the intricate dynamics of sibling rivalry and the tension between sexuality and spirituality, featuring a captivating multi-voice narration.
