Discover the captivating audio experience of 'Oreo'—a profound audio book on CD that invites listeners to journey alongside a brave young heroine. Produced in 2018 by Bolinda/Macmillan Audio, this audio book unveils the story of Oreo, a girl raised by her loving grandparents in Philadelphia, who embarks on a gripping quest to uncover the truth about her father. With her mother touring as part of a theatrical troupe and her mysterious father absent from her life, Oreo's adventure is both a personal and mythical journey that resonates across generations.
This audio book on CD format features a skillful blend of humor and culture, intertwining standard English with black vernacular and Yiddish to create a rich tapestry of narrative.

Description:
Oreo has been raised by her maternal grandparents in Philadelphia. Her black mother tours with a theatrical troupe, and her Jewish deadbeat dad disappeared when she was an infant, leaving behind a mysterious note. Oreo’s quest is to find her father, and discover the secret of her birth.
What ensues in Fran Ross's opus is a playful, modernised parody of the classical odyssey of Theseus with a feminist twist, immersed in seventies pop culture, and mixing standard English, black vernacular, and Yiddish with wisecracking aplomb.
Oreo, our young hero, navigates the labyrinth of sound studios and brothels and subway tunnels in Manhattan, seeking to claim her birthright while unwittingly experiencing and triggering a mythic journey of self-discovery like no other.
