Is it audiobook-able, or does he play with the structure of the text?

  It suspect it would be OK, albeit confusing. On the other hand, it doesn’t exist on Audible so maybe not?

    Google tells me there's an audiobook version out there, probably. (Audiobooks seem to be the only way I can get myself to read these days!)

  Good question. On this recommendation, I immediately went to Audible, but they apparently don't have the '99 books-on-tape version. I can say that I've "read" more Ishiguro through audiobooks than paper, and that they've all been excellent. Rosalyn Landor's Never Let Me Go was particularly moving. The first-person perspective used by Ishiguro in several of his novels lends itself very well to the format. When We Were Orphans isn't typically considered one of his stronger works, but as a "told tale" I found it fascinating.
