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.
"My earliest memory, one that I will never forget, is of being
awakened from sleep, summoned up out of warm subterranean darkness
by a hand on my shoulder...."
At last, a confession. Perhaps beauty is the life force... but
where's the border between mendacity and veracity? And what is
"anamnesis"?
