Title: Ballad of the Whiskey Robber Author: Julian Rubinstein Narrator: Arthur Phillips, Samantha Power, Darin Strauss, Tommy Ramone, Gary Shteyngart, Jonathan Ames, Demetri Martin, Eric Bogosian Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 04-21-06 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 395 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: Winner of Borders "Original Voices" Book of the Year and a New York Times Editors' Choice, Ballad of the Whiskey Robber tells the hilarious and improbable true story of Attila Ambrus, the Robin Hood of Eastern Europe. He's the onetime pelt smugger, goaltender (possibly the worst in the history of pro hockey), pen salesman, Zamboni driver, gravedigger, church painter, roulette addict, building superintendent, whiskey drinker, and native of Transylvania who's decided that the best thing to do with his time is to rob as many banks as possible. Welcome to Julian Rubinstein's uproariously funny and unforgettable account of crime in the heart of the new Europe. Part Unbearable Lightness of Being, part Pink Panther, and part Slap Shot, Rubinstein's tale is a spectacular literary debut - and a story so outrageous that it could only be true. Critic Reviews: "Must be heard to be believed." (The Onion) "Offers that simple pleasure, a great story." (Esquire) "Outrageously entertaining." (San Francisco Chronicle) "Rubinstein has found a story of the sort that would make even the most dry-mouthed journalist slobber. Sometimes sad, often hilarious and always absurd." (The New York Times)
