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 know, Goddamnit!' It’s the only thing Willy’s sure
of, and he keeps shouting it at the cop. In the dark room, a
spotlight is burning his eyes down to the sockets. It’s a basement
of sorts, the ceiling a crisscross of piping and duct work,
industrial grey and dark green."
Where memory should be: a black hole. Is there any hope? A
man's struggle with addiction can't be kept secret when it
threatens to destroy his family.
