The Strange Recital


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.

“Lately when people ask me how much longer I have on parole, I respond that I am practically on parole for life.”
 
An artist whose name is a diamond, trapped in an Orwellian nightmare. Or a petty criminal getting justice. Which is it?
