"Some Sing, Some Cry" audiobook to be released

Audible.com presents the multigenerational epic Some Sing, Some Cry. Created by Ntozake Shange and Ifa Bayeza, this audiobook tells the story of 200 years and seven generations of women from one African-American family. Some Sing, Some Cry takes listeners on a journey through Reconstruction, two world wars, the Harlem renaissance, Vietnam, to modern day America. Acclaimed narrator Robin Miles goes beyond the prose to transform song lyrics sprinkled throughout the book into beautiful music, making this a uniquely rich literary and audio experience.

Playwright, poet, and novelist Ntozake Shange’s Obie Award-winning for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf will be a star-studded major motion picture this fall, directed by Tyler Perry. Ifa Bayeza is an Edgar Award-winning playwright, producer, and conceptual theater artist. Yale Drama School-trained Robin Miles has appeared on stage and TV and narrated over 100 audiobooks.

The novel will be available online at Audible.com and in the iTunes store on Tuesday, September 14, 2010.
