Quick note to let you know that today in my travels I came across two lovely audio collections:
NPR’s collection of books that changed the world. I’m going to go listen to Hitchens talk about Paine now, as I do the morning’s dishes.
The ever-so-awesome James Bridle‘s new podcast of (kinda) daily readings: Mattins. Sigh.
Enjoy.
Nathan Englander reads Isaac Bashevis Singer’s “Disguised” for The New Yorker’s monthly reading and conversation with Deborah Treisman. Englander’s voice couldn’t be more perfect.
Early in his career, professor Mark Rowlands had two loves: philosophy and Brenin, a wolf he was forced to bring along to his lectures. Through their relationship, Rowlands started examining his work and life. Listen on CBC’s Ideas, via EarIdeas.
Every month, The New Yorker’s fiction editor, Deborah Treisman, hosts a reading and conversation with a well-known writer. August 2009 featured Joshua Ferris reading George Saunders’s “Adams.” The rhythm is magnificent.
