About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Idiot, by John Kendrick Bangs, Read by Gregg Margarite (1957-2012). The Idiot is anything but, yet his fellow boarders at Mrs. Smithers-Pedagog’s home for single gentlemen see him as such. His brand of creative thought is dismissed as foolishness yet it continues to get under their skin, because when you’re beneath contempt you can say what you please. – This is the first of John Kendrick Bangs' “Idiot” books and was published by Harper and Brothers in 1895. (Summary by Gregg Margarite)
