The Cosmic Library5.5 The Short Story in the U.S.: Otherworldly Bedtime StoriesThe word “story” often comes after the word “bedtime,” and for good reason.

Story podcasts, then, can demonstrate powerfully the connections between fiction and sleep. This episode—the concluding episode of The Cosmic Library’s season on the short story in the U.S.—examines those connections.Deborah Treisman says in this...2024-05-2225 minThe Cosmic Library5.4 The Short Story in the U.S.: NYC+MFA+ATL“If my college-age self, reading White Noise, had thought I would one day be discussing word placement with Don DeLillo, I would have had a heart attack,” Deborah Treisman says in this episode.

In this episode, th...2024-05-1537 min
