The Lonely VoiceThe Lonely Voice: 'The Origin of Sadness' & 'Real Losses, Imaginary Gains' by Wright MorrisOn this episode we’re talking about Wright Morris. We’ll focus on two of his stories from his Collected Stories: 1948-1986, published in 1986.We’ll start off with “The Origin of Sadness”—and then stay tuned for a short bonus conversation about “Real Losses, Imaginary Gains.”My own fascination with Wright Morris started probably 30 years after this story collection was published. He was prolific and published novels, memoirs, stories, and even photography and had a long career in writing that started in the late 1940s.But it was, I believe, 2016 when I first read an es...2025-07-191h 09The Lonely VoiceThe Lonely Voice: 'Clara' by Roberto Bolaño Roberto BolañoPeter Orner is in Chile for the Cátedra Abierta en Homenaje a Roberto Bolaño con Peter Orner—a lecture honoring Roberto Bolaño sponsored by the Universidad Diego Portales.So though we didn’t want to impose on Peter while he was away, it also seemed a good time to pay tribute to Roberto Bolaño in one more way—here on "The Lonely Voice with Peter Orner."Bolaño was born in Chile—and though he lived in Mexico with his family for a time and then in Spain, he is generall...2025-05-3037 minThe Lonely VoiceThe Lonely Voice: 'Oh, Joseph, I'm So Tired' by Richard Yates Richard Yates “Oh, Joseph, I’m So Tired” is considered to be one of the best stories by Richard Yates, a writer who perhaps didn’t enjoy a lot of accolades when he was alive and publishing his work.One of the reasons this podcast even exists is precisely because of authors like Richard Yates. Maybe most people would say, “never heard of him” about Yates and his novels and stories.That’s the kind of response that’s become practically a cue for us on this podcast to get going on talking about a largely...2025-05-0939 min

We’re talking about “Sarah Cole: A Type of Love Story” by Russell Banks.Does everyone love a love story? How about the type of love story that might not be all hearts and flowers?People are complicated. Love can be, too, then.“Sarah Cole: A Type of Love Story” is an unusual story in many ways. It is a “type”—a very peculiar kind of love story.

His death by suicide happened in 1979 after he experienced a spate of grievous losses in his life.Much has been written about Breece D’J Pancake—the middle initials in his unusual name, his feeling like an outsider in university, for example. Some readers don’t consider his life and work without also considering his death.But in life, he experienced a little bit of success, living to see his stories published in such reputable publications as The Atlantic Monthly.

Fleur is seven years older than Delia.We meet them in childhood, but the story jumps to their adult lives and back again.One sister survived being hit by a car. She has a lazy eye and grows up in a home without a piano— without many things that both sisters want.2024-08-1647 minThe Lonely VoiceThe Lonely Voice: 'The Judgment' by Franz KafkaFirst published in 1913, “The Judgment” is a story by Franz Kafka. Among critics, it’s considered something of a breakthrough story—and one Kafka himself was proud of, having written it in the span of one day.The “judgment” of the title is a pronouncement made by the father of the main character, Georg Bendemann.It’s likely that “The Judgment” is one of the most analyzed of Kafa’s stories. It’s often described as being chaotic and full of paradoxes.The story is divided into two main sections. The first one makes the reader privy...2024-08-021h 04
A Lovely Wallpaper"On the Beach at Fontana" with Peter OrnerIn this episode, Abby Walthausen interviews Peter Orner, fiction writer and professor of English and Creative writing at Dartmouth College, for a special Bloomsday episode. For memory, they offer up James Joyce's "On the Beach at Fontana," a poem from a tiny chapbook called Pomes Penyeach, which offers a window into Joyce's family life in Trieste during the period when he was writing his masterpiece Ulysses.Recitation begins at 35:20On the Beach at FontanaWind whines and whines the shingle,The crazy pierstakes groan;A senile sea numbers each singleSlimesilvered stone.2024-06-1643 minThe Lonely VoiceThe Lonely Voice: 'Illinois' by Alice MunroAlice Munro passed away on May 13. She was 92. The beloved Canadian author dedicated her long career to creating stories that were both psychologically complex and accessible. She never failed to both mystify and dazzle legions of readers all over the world.The Swedish Academy that awarded her the Nobel in 2013 referred to her as “a master of contemporary short story.We’ve been reluctant to join the chorus of tributes that have come forth this week, feeling both bemused and bereft.But there is plenty to say. Perhaps in time we will share thos...2024-05-1722 minThe Lonely VoiceThe Lonely Voice: 'Death in the Woods' by Sherwood Anderson Sherwood Anderson The narrative voice in “Death in the Woods” by Sherwood Anderson is an important element of this classic story. From it, we receive the strange, sad story of a woman he describes as rather typical and common—the type of person who is “nothing special” and whom we all know in our own lives.And yet, the story itself is told in such a close way, brimming with details that go beyond some kind of mere distant familiarity we have with someone random.The woman had lived in extremely difficult and bleak circumstances for her en...2024-05-1034 minThe Lonely VoiceThe Lonely Voice: 'The Ice Wagon Going Down the Street' by Mavis Gallant Mavis Gallant“The Ice Wagon Going Down the Street” is one of Mavis Gallant’s most beloved stories.Protagonist Peter Frazier is a Canadian married to a British wife, Sheilah.On a languorous Sunday morning in Toronto, they lounge in Peter’s sister’s kitchen where they’ve lived for 17 weeks with their two children.They’ve traveled in Europe and lived in Paris and Geneva. They’ve also lived in Ceylon.During part of that time away, Peter held some low-level jobs, including as a filing clerk in an office in Geneva.2024-03-2637 minThe Lonely VoiceThe Lonely Voice: ‘Funes the Memorious’ & ‘The South’ by Jorge Luis BorgesJorge Luis Borges is one of the most anthologized authors in the world. In his writing, he was often concerned with the ways Argentine writers related to the world. In one famous lecture, “The Argentine Writer and Tradition,” he is known to have famously discounted the idea that Argentine literature should be confined to “Argentine traits and Argentine local color.” He believed that the writer is always in conversation with all spaces, always.He was, of course, a giant in Latin American letters and wrote numerous books of poetry, fiction, and essays. He was also a prodigious translat...2024-03-1346 min

The pacing of each moves with suddenness but then also lingers for brief moments of beauty juxtaposed with ugliness. Characters want connection and love–and sometimes settle for something else that can lead to bad decisions–broken hearts, addiction.Generally acknowledged are the autobiographical details in Berlin’s stories–the alcoholism and addiction, the humor and the heartbreak.Lydia Davis has long championed the work of Lucia Berlin, noting her awe of the natural world, the suddenness in the prose, her paci...2024-01-1948 minThe Lonely VoiceThe Lonely Voice: 'Steady Hands at Seattle General' by Denis Johnson Denis Johnson (Cindy Johnson )On this episode of The Lonely Voice, Peter Orner and Yvette Benavides discuss “Steady Hands at Seattle General” by Denis Johnson.When you read a story like this one, it's easy to see why there are still legions of fans who love the work of the late Denis Johnson. There is an ineffable quality in his stories that’s hard to pin down. Another thing about “Steady Hands at Seattle General,” is all the ways that it defies convention and containment.We listen in on a conversation between tw...2023-12-2910 min
Cátedras Paralelas68 ¿Hay alguien ahí? + Sigo sin saber de tiSesión N°68: invité a María José Navia para cerrar el año en Cátedras Paralelas y conversar sobre los dos mejores libros que leí este 2023: los ensayos del escritor estadounidense Peter Orner en "¿Hay alguien ahí?" y "Sigo sin saber de ti", ambos traducidos al español y publicados por la estupenda Chai Editora. Los libros de Orner condensan el material de su propia vida y lo mezclan con extractos de cientos de cuentos, novelas y poemas de escritores que van desde clásicos hasta autores y autoras más desconocidos, dando como resultado un fascinante híbrido entre...2023-12-191h 25The Lonely VoiceThe Lonely Voice: 'Cryptology' & 'Murderers' by Leonard Michaels Leonard MichaelsLeonard Michaels wrote that “The ability to tell a story, like the ability to carry a tune, is nearly universal and as mysteriously natural as language.” Importantly, he added, “Though I’ve met few people who can’t tell stories, it has always seemed to me they really can but refuse to care enough, or fear generosity, or self-revelation or misinterpretation…or intimacy.”When you think about The Nachman Stories by Leonard Michaels, it’s easy to see that he didn’t fear generosity or self-revelation or intimacy. Not a bit.These stories are about one Rapa...2023-12-1546 minThe Lonely VoiceThe Lonely Voice: 'Lonesome Road' by Gina Berriault Gina Berriault Yvette Benavides and Peter Orner discuss “Lonesome Road,” a story by Gina Berriault.If Berriault’s stories are not so well known to most, this one might never have registered–if not for the unapologetic ardor that her fans–Peter Orner and Yvette Benavides among them– feel for her.The “Lonesome Road” of the title remains a little enigmatic once you read the story–because that is the nature of things when a relationship ends and happenstance–or something like it–brings you face to face with a person you used to know–used to love.Thin...2023-12-0130 minThe Lonely VoiceThe Lonely Voice: 'Goodbye and Good Luck' & 'Living' by Grace PaleyGrace Paley's "Goodbye and Good Luck" is a story that has been very often anthologized. On this episode, Peter Orner and Yvette Benavides shine a light on the story's ubiquity and popularity and discuss the beloved author. If you talk about Paley, you have to talk about voice. But you also talk about compassion. Paley's characters face conflict and tragedy and deep sorrow and loneliness on any given day. But with that tragedy we see the absurdity of life, and a good measure of humor comes through in Grace Paley's unforgettable story.2023-11-1751 min

It was great, but it could have been better (this leads to a long conversation on why we need new art, if we do, and a discussion of Hannah's new favorite book "Chain-Gang All-Stars," which is better than "The Hunger Games," for lots of reasons). Then we talk about Hannah's coming-of-age-novel panel from the Newburyport Literary Festival (sex!

She seldom responded, leading him to plead in 1945, “Another day and still no word from you.” Seventy years later, Peter Orner writes in response to his grandfather’s plea: “Maybe we read because we seek that word from someone, from anyone.”
