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 hope you've not taken cold with the doors open, Doctor. The
wind was blowing harsh on the heath. I'd forgotten how mortally
cold wind can make you."
A riveting dialogue between the dying Sigmund Freud and a
blind prophet from ancient Greece, a key player in the drama of
Oedipus. What happened, and what does it mean?
