  • I Stand Here Ironing
    ENG 333 The Short Story: This is a short story written by Tillie Olsen in 1961. Its a story of a phone call from her teen daughter’s school and all that it brings up for her. I actually got emotional towards the end of reading this story. May we all be more than the dress and much more than just the iron.

  • A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings
    ENG 333 The Short Story: In this episode I read a well known short story by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Garcia Marquez is known to mix realistic and fantasitical ideas in his fiction and in the screen adaptation of this story he begins with a quotation from Hebrews 13:2 “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware.”

  • The Necklace
    ENG 333 The Short Story: This is a reading of a short story by French writer Guy de Maupassant. Its well known for the surpirise ending and hopefully serves as a warning against ungratefulness…May we never fall to vanity.

  • Lusting for Freedom by Rebecca Walker
    We are celebrating International Woman’s Month by sharing some of the best and most empowering writers and story tellers. In this episode, I read an essay featured in “Listen Up: Voices from the Next Feminist Generation” Edited by Barbara Findlen. This essay discusses sex and sexuality and although it was written in the 90s it still rings true today. For your own copy of this amazing collection, please support your local woman owned bookstore and find the title. There are newer editions available now. This is an older book that was printed in 1995 and may be difficult to find. Feel free to reach out to me via email if you’d like to borrow my copy. https://www.amazon.com/DEL-Listen-Up-Voices-Feminist-Generation/dp/1878067613
