Our greatest actors transport us through the magic of fiction, one short story at a time. Sometimes funny. Always moving. Selected Shorts connects you to the world with a rich diversity of voices from literature, film, theater, and comedy. In this edition, host Meg Wolitzer presents a light-hearted collection of summer-themed works including:
- “A Case for Remaining Indoors,” by Samantha Irby, performed by Retta;
- “The Miraculous Beach, or, Prize for Modesty,” by Massimo Bontempelli, translated by Jenny McPhee, performed by Hugh Dancy; and
- “The Thrill of the Grass,” by W.P. Kinsella, performed by Denis O’Hare
