Publisher Description

Assigned to write an autobiography, high-school senior Robert Radkovitz instead creates a sound portrait of his life as he remembers it. Looking back, he hears his mother's singing, his grandmother's mysteries, Mexican soap operas, Poe, poetry, and, most cherished, the voice of his absent father from a single tape of one of his radio shows. Told in a collage of voices, Seek describes Rob's search for his father, a search pursued not through San Francisco's streets, but through the labyrinth of the airwaves. Psychic readers, baseball announcers, pirate DJs, friends, and teachers join a rich, ringing aural autobiography that's as joyfully comic as it is compelling.

"The radio show / stage format took a little getting used to, but in the end I greatly enjoyed it. Rob's evolution in his quest to find his father, and then simply share his own voice, was really interesting given that it was done though his fairly unique interest in the radio."

    " This book is a decent book i recommend this book to thoughs who like back in the day times such as all radios no tv as well as a type of mystery he wants to go on a search does he find him? Personally i don't think the book was really for me i got lost quite easy but it was alright. "

    " I gave it two stars because it did not make much sense. It was mostly about a radeo stason that they lisined to all the time. Robert is assigned to write a autobiography. He lisined to the radeo and remenberd some of the good times he had. But i dont think this book is very good. "

    " Extremely interesting premise -- I understand why it was written as a script, but I think it was this format that made it a little off-putting. "

    " I was so hoping that this would be better, since I really love so much of Fleischman's other books. And the premise was good, and the way he played with sounds had a lot of potential, but I just didn't feel like the execution was quite right. "
