Story
Parker’s poems continue to resonate today. She was trying to make sense of who she was in a world that was busy telling her who she could and should be, regardless of how she felt about it. Aren’t we all? Having Parker’s acerbic irreverence and wit reflect our own lives back to us, in which, as she says, “good and bad are woven in a crazy plaid”, gives us reassurance, perspective, courage, and a much needed laugh.

New York City is not only The New Yorker magazine's place of origin and its sensibility's lifeblood, it is the heart of American literary culture.

Story
Dorothy Parker's quips and light verse have embedded themselves in the American literary landscape, but it was her prose that proved her star and demonstrated her talent as extending far beyond her time. In her fiction, she not only brought to life the urban milieu that was her bailiwick, but lay bare the uncertainties of ordinary people living ordinary lives, all told in her unflinching and deeply personal voice. In these selected stories, read for you by Elaine Stritch, we have the chance to draw upon her insight into the social and emotional realities of human nature.

Welcome to my show! My collections are inspired by Norwegian poetry as these lack rhyme and rhythm. Though without rhythm, these verses are lovely to read aloud. Enjoy.

Story
From wild and wacky to knee-slapping, laugh-out-loud fun, these humorous tales represent some of the best of recent seasons of the hit public radio series Selected Shorts. Comedian Wyatt Cenac gives a killer performance of Simon Rich’s hilarious tale of woe from the point of view of a condom in a young man’s wallet. Alec Baldwin gives a delightful over-the-top performance of James Thurber’s wonderfully silly classic tale of the day everybody in a small Ohio town thought the dam broke.
