I listened to this collection of "Selected Shorts: A Celebration of the Short Story" while doing chores. One story was about equal to one room. When we were in NJ and devotees of WNYC, we listened to Selected Shorts every Sunday morning. We just recently found it broadcast here in Columbus, and are so excited to have it again. Check it out wherever you are and enjoy the readings.
This particular collection was called "Falling in Love" and included:
"Fires" by Rick Bass
"The Winnowing of Mrs. Schuping" by Padgett Powell
"The Lone Pilgrim" by Laurie Colwin
"Melisande" by E. Nesbit (and read by Jane Curtain. My boys listened to and really enjoyed this one with me.)
"Violets" by Edna O'Brien
"Travis, B." by Maile Maloy
Selected Shorts is an award-winning series of classic and contemporary short fiction read by acclaimed actors. The readings are recorded live at Peter Norton Symphony Space in New York City. The Selected Shorts radio series is a co-production of Symphony Space and WNYC, New York Public Radio, and is heard on public radion stations nationwide.
