Electric Literature No. 2 Audiobook (Unabridged)

Electric Literature is a quarterly anthology of short fiction. The editors select stories with a strong voice that capture readers and listeners and lead them somewhere exciting, unexpected, and meaningful.

In the Autumn 2009 anthology, Colson Whitehead charts the rise to fame of a truth-telling comedian. Stephen O'Connor transports us to a cabin in the woods, where a young woman attempting to finish her dissertation in solitude becomes increasingly convinced she's not alone. Pasha Malla follows a young writer as he explores how tragedy influences art - and how life falls short of it. Marisa Silver tells the tale of three sisters who perceive the truth about their parents through the eyes of some unexpected visitors. And Lydia Davis' solitary narrator acutely details the behavior of three cows who live in a pasture just across the road.

"Four of these stars are for Pasha Malla. The other is for EL generally. The three girls story was good too, though, but maybe not worth a thousand bucks. Still not interested in Lydia Davis outside of her role as one of Brandon Scott Gorrell's characters that one time (Nervous Assface / bearparade)."
