The Strange Recital is an audio anthology of short fiction. It is not genre-specific and delights in perceptions of reality that warp and fold in unexpected ways. The literary works we showcase might be odd, humorous, or surreal.... They might remind you of Borges, Nabokov, Kafka, Pynchon. Or none of the above.
Each podcast episode features one writer and runs about 25 minutes. It includes a story reading – the Recital – a brief musical interlude, and an author interview with a twist – the Post Recital. Subscribe to get a new episode twice a month. It's free.
"At fifty-five years of age he found himself on the shelf. It
was an actual shelf in a warehouse on the Brooklyn
waterfront...."
A clever solution to the commuting problem, or something else?
Can a real life be lived backstage, where castoffs from the
illusion factory huddle in limbo?
