Media Reviews
'A remarkable book about a strangely overlooked subject. Once we listen to our listening, as Grose and Young show, extraordinary things begin to happen.' Adam Phillips
'Uneasy Listening is a delight; a lively, enlivening, and moving exploration of what it is to listen. It's governed by a playfulness and irreverence that sit together beautifully with its probing seriousness. It made me laugh often, and made me fascinated anew by the weird and wonderful thing that is the act of listening to another's speech. I enjoyed it immensely.' Katherine Angel
