About this listen
Meg Wolitzerpresents three stories featured in the anthology A Century of Fiction in the New Yorker.The magazine celebrates its 100th birthday, and this is the second of two programs this season in which we join the party. Robert Coover’s “Going for a Beer” begins with a date and a drink, but you’ll be surprised where it ends up. The reader is SELECTED SHORTS’ late founder and host, Isaiah Sheffer. Cynthia Ozick’s moving story “The Shawl” pulls grace from the worst of circumstances in a powerful reading by Lois Smith. And V.S. Pritchett turns a ladder into a sly symbol of marital discord in our third tale. “The Ladder” is performed by Cynthia Nixon.
