Remember last year when we decided to celebrate National Short Story Month by discussing six short stories hand-selected by the cast? Well, we had so much fun last year that we decided to do it again!
This year, Rodney actually chooses a short story instead of a novella, Rebecca reveals an interesting way to select material for our show, and Aaron must endure insulting words about one of his favorite writers. Also– and probably most importantly– Aaron and Rodney are once again vindicated when Rebecca is impressed by one of their favorite science-fiction authors.
In this episode, the following writers and stories are discussed:
— “The Briefcase” by Rebecca Makkai
— “The Light Through The Window” by Kevin Brockmeier
— “The Swimmer” by John Cheever
— “The Runner” by Don Delillo
— “The Hunger Artist” by Franz Kafka
— “I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon” by Philip K. Dick
