New Yorker Fiction editor Deborah Triesman (who has the most beautiful, calming tone to her voice) asks short story authors to read their favorite New Yorker story and talk about it after. I love short stories, but I donโt always grasp it like I want to, and am left agonizing over what I missed.
My favorites:
Jhumpa Lahiri reads Primo Levi
Ottessa Moshfegh reads Sheila Heti
Donald Antrim reads Donald Barthelme
Will Mackin reads George Saunders
Rachel Kushner reads Edna OโBrien
Sterling HolyWhiteMountain reads Roberto Bolaรฑo
