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.
"I don’t remember how I heard about the burned girl. Probably
it was my new friend Scot, with his spiritual leanings and whom I
was seeing a lot of at that time, who told me. A new friend is
useful in the kind of crisis that ensues when you are cutting your
old life loose, or have had it cut loose for you."
