Chicago Public Radio has its series of short stories read by actors, Stories on Stage, available online. It’s quite an impressive list of stories and includes some of Camella C.’s favorites:
- “Eleven” by Sandra Cisneros, and
- “The Kids’ Guide to Divorce” by Lorrie Moore
The series does not seem to extend beyond 2007 but there are quite a number of stories going all the way back to 2001. It’s great to hear these stories well read, and to recognize that the rules for reading prose out loud are very similar to those for poetry.
Hat tip to Anna C. for pointing this out to me.
