Food and Flight

The Strangeness of Everyday Life: Two by Murakami


Sun, Jan 22, 2012


Two stories by internationally acclaimed Japanese author Haruki Murkami, author of 1Q84, that demonstrate his gift for making the events and details of everyday life surreal and uncanny.  In “Lederhosen,” a long marriage breaks up over a pair of shorts!  The reader is TV and off-Broadway star Aasif Mandvi.    “Ice Man,” depicts a very different marriage, between a young woman and an icy being who holds the world’s past frozen in his body.  The reader is “Third Rock from the Sun’s” Jane Curtin.

Russian Tales


Wed, Jan 11, 2012


A Russian troika—humor, tragedy, and magic are featured in three stories.  In Isaac Babel’s “My First Goose” an intellectual Jewish soldier has to prove his barbarism to be accepted by his troop.  In Anton Chekhov’s “Rothschild’s Fiddle,” a miserable personality rediscovers his humanity, and in between, Ludmilla Petrushevskaya has created a strange fairy tale in which three lost souls become a family.  The readers are Joe Morton, Denis O’Hare, and Nina Arianda.
