My story “The Frog and the Bird” (from Tales of Falling and Flying) is on the Selected Shorts Podcast right now, as read by actor Mike Doyle. The episode is called “Taking Flight with Amy Tan,” and also includes “Town of Birds” by Heather Monley, as performed by Yetide Badaki, and “The Mating Call” by Mikkel Rosengaard, as read by BD Wong.

I’ll be at Chevalier’s Books on Larchmont at 7:00pm tomorrow (Friday 9/30) talking to Amy Fusselman about her hilarious new book (and first novel!) THE MEAN$ — come on down and say hi! Rare moment I will be outside my house

Composer Nathan Hudson will be premiering a new work entitled “God,” based on my short story of the same name, this coming Monday night, September 26, in the Whitley Auditorium at Elon University in North Carolina. 7:30PM EST. I will be there– if you see me, come say hi!
