About the Book

3 CDs. Recorded live at the Peter Norton Symphony Space in New York City and at venues across the United States, these audio anthologies feature short stories from the Selected Shorts program that airs nation-wide. Over 300,000 listeners tune in to this offering weekly to hear some of their favourite tales read aloud by an assortment of distinguished actors. From a Bosnian man's struggle to make a new life in America to a teenage boy's relationship with his single mother and her new boyfriend against the background of the stark Montana landscape -- this collection of poignant, romantic, and funny tales is performed entirely by the Academy Award-winning actor William Hurt. Featured stories include Ron Carlson's "Towel Season", Richard Ford's "Communist", Aleksandar Hemon's "Blind Josef Pronek", and Tobias Wolff's "Nightingale". The CD also includes an interview with William Hurt.

About the Author :
Symphony Space is a performing arts centre based in New York City that fosters artistically and culturally diverse performing arts, literary, and film programs that bring artists and audiences together in an atmosphere of exploration and intimacy. This organisation reaches audiences throughout New York City, the wider metropolitan area, and -- through distribution of programs via media such as radio, recordings, podcasts, and touring -- the nation.

Review :
""Selected Shorts" is one of the best evenings of the theatre." --David Sedaris "Recommended for all large public libraries." "--Library Journal" "Selected Shorts is one of the best evenings of the theatre." --David Sedaris "From the solemn to the amusing, Hurt illustrates his range in front of an audience. Hurt works well with the different tones and styles of the stories, and his delivery is well received by the audience." --Publishers Weekly "Hearing, rather than reading, a wonderful story--even one as familiar as Shirley Jackson's 'Country Lovers' or Richard Ford's 'The Communist'--makes it fresh and new when performed by such actors as William Hurt and Robert Sean Leonard." --Chicago Tribune "In each of the readings, including Richard Ford's Communist and Ron Carlson's Towel Season, Hurt's talent for creating a quiet yet evocative performance is showcased." --Kirkus Reviews "Recommended for all large public libraries." --Library Journal "Some of the more intelligent short stories in audiobook land are on the yearly release of Selected Shorts by Symphony Space." --The Boston Globe "Symphony Space is the angel of the short story." --Grace Paley "The collections on offer by Selected Shorts are of a uniformly high quality, and this group is no exception--if anything, it's the icing on the cake." --Audiofile
