The Exquisite Corpse is a writing exercise that was invented by French Surrealists in the 1920s. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, but are only allowed to see what the previous person contributed. This is an audio version of this exercise, and we’ve asked each of our guests to write and record their own contribution based on a previous guest’s prompt.

So, this episode includes a stitched-together story written by several people. What is the story about? Where will it go? What will happen? You’ll have to listen to find out. Welcome to the Exquisite Corpse: Chapter One.
