A Dozen by Dunsany
by Lord Dunsany
read by Wilson Fowlie, Setsu Uzume, Graeme Dunlop, Eric Luke, Matt Dovey, Aidan Doyle, Khaalidah Muhammad-Ali, Cheyenne Wright, Tina Connolly, Steve Anderson, Jen Albert, Amal el-Mohtar.
* The True Story of the Hare and the Tortoise
Chosen by Samantha Brandt (Talia); Read by Wilson Fowlie
Note: “I enjoyed the rather dark interpretation of a fable generally considered benign.”
* The Sphinx at Giza
Chosen & Read by Setsu Uzume
Note: “I love that the sense of doom and futility in all three, and the juxtaposition of eternal forces with finite human experience. It speaks to the artist’s experience, trying to capture something eternal in mediums as finite as smeared oils and chicken scratch.”
* The Song of the Blackbird
Chosen & Read by Graeme Dunlop
Note: “I love it for this line: “It was new then.” As in, everything old is new again.”
* The Tomb of Pan
Chosen by Raj K. Gopal; Read by Eric Luke
Note: “There is something beautiful to me about the holiness of joy and hedonism and humanity somehow managing to survive the holiness of sobriety and rigidity and ideology. “
* A Moral Little Tale
Chosen & Read by Matt Dovey
Note: “I don’t believe personal happiness can ever be an evil. There is an infinite pool of happiness to go around, if only we’d let each other share in it without judgement.”
* Death and the Orange
Chosen & Read by Aidan Doyle
Note: “I’ve had to deal with some strange fruit in my travels and I appreciate the description of “a small orange which had an evil laughter in its heart.”
* Alone the Immortals
Chosen & Read by Khaalidah Muhammad-Ali
Note: “I was intrigued by the title and the melancholic/dark feel of the tale.”
* Time and the Tradesman
Chosen by Krystal Claxton; Read by Cheyenne Wright
Note: “So the personification of Time showed up in a lot, A LOT, of these and I liked “Time and the Tradesmen” best. The Roman god pettiness of Time smiting a human merely to state that he is not to be fucked with left me oddly satisfied.”
* The Sphinx in Thebes (Massachusetts)
