  • Used to be a good thing

    The stories are a mixed bag— from revelatory to painfully dull. I didn’t appreciate every story but I enjoyed this podcast for years (while it was freely accessible).

    The paywall will not make me subscribe, it’ll stop me from engaging.

  • Anne Enright reading The Bridge Stood Fast

    I loved listening to this story. It has everything. It is beautifully crafted with extraordinary lyricism and rhythm. It coneys atmospheres and characters superbly. The reader [listener] learns so much through the way Anne Enright shows and does not tell. The reader [listener] has work to do as well. It covers so much metaphorical and literal ground/land. I have part-read the Green Road and I need to complete it. I’m also prompted to invest in more of Anne Enright’s writing especially the shor... more

  • Too much . . .

    I don’t know if Constellations is a good read or not because the narrator read it with such a heavy accent, and I was annoyed with those who deprived us, perhaps, of a wonderful tale. Question: Did those who made such a decision think an accent would make it more authentic? Did you not think that when we READ it, we don’t read it with an accent?

  • Questionable story choices

    Increasingly, after reading the New Yorker for 40 years, I find that these stories are almost deliberately written by young writers, without reflecting really any standards for plot, innovation, and delight. Too many of these stories are self-indulgent and reflect the lives of privileged people whose problems are quite frankly, boring. Too many of them are also coming out of the New York publishing system from writers who have connections or writers who have a novel coming out soon.
