Who Narrates The Audiobook Version Of 'Priestdaddy'?

I can confidently say Patricia Clarkson's narration of 'Priestdaddy' is a masterclass in voice acting. She doesn't just read the text; she embodies Patricia Lockwood's sardonic yet affectionate tone, making the memoir feel like a conversation with a clever friend. Clarkson's pacing is impeccable, letting the absurdity of Lockwood's childhood—like her father playing electric guitar in his priestly robes—land with perfect timing.

What stands out is how she differentiates characters without overdoing it. Her subtle shifts in inflection make each family member distinct, from the booming voice of the priestdaddy to the quieter, more reflective moments of Lockwood herself. The audiobook elevates the already brilliant prose, making it one of my top listens of the year. For fans of quirky family stories, I'd also suggest 'The Glass Castle' by Jeannette Walls, narrated by Julia Whelan—another performance that adds depth to the text.

I recently listened to 'priestdaddy' and was blown away by the narrator's performance. The audiobook is voiced by Patricia Clarkson, who brings such warmth and wit to Patricia Lockwood's memoir. Clarkson's delivery captures the eccentricities of Lockwood's family perfectly, especially her father, the unconventional priest. Her voice has this dry humor that matches the book's tone, making the bizarre moments funnier and the tender ones more poignant. I'd recommend this audiobook to anyone who enjoys memoirs with a sharp, literary edge. If you like this, try 'Educated' by Tara Westover next—another memoir with a stellar narration.

Patricia Clarkson narrates 'Priestdaddy,' and her voice is like honey drizzled over broken glass—smooth but with a bite. She nails Lockwood's blend of poetic lyricism and razor-sharp humor, especially in scenes describing her father's chaotic energy. Clarkson's delivery makes the audiobook feel intimate, like you're eavesdropping on Lockwood's most private memories.

I love how she handles the book's tonal shifts. One minute she's deadpanning about her dad's bizarre habits, the next she's achingly vulnerable about faith and family. It’s a performance that stays with you. If you enjoy this, check out 'Crying in H Mart' by Michelle Zauner, narrated by the author—it’s another memoir where the narrator’s personal connection to the story adds layers of authenticity.
