In Episode 3 of the Books on the Nightstand Podcast:
- Michael tells us about his weekend at Comic-Con, and Ann makes a shocking confession.
- We
discuss the bad rap given to short stories, and talk about our favorite
story collections. If you think you don't like short stories, we dare
you to give one of these a try!
- And we preview two new books
that hit the shelves on May 6th: Skeletons at the Feast, by Chris
Bohjalian and The Mysterious Montague, by Lee Montville.
The story about Unaccustomed Earth debuting on the New York Times Bestseller list at #1 appeared on the New York Times' Paper Cuts blog on April 10. The essay about short stories that Michael referenced is from Michael Chabon's Maps and Legends.
