Telling Tales with Ms. G

“Good Neighbors” by Sharon Mitchell. Some neighbors should be listed in the realty information just likeall hazardous disclosure on a new house.

Tune in tonight at 7pm for Telling Tales with Ms. G.  She’ll be reading from “Simon at the Shore Line” by Jonas Hurwitz, where Simon asks: “Are halter-tops and half price Bermudas part of the grand design?”

“The Mermaid in the Tree” by Timothy Schaffert from the fairy tale collection “My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me”. A wonderfully, disturbing story that will stick with you.

“Shower of Gold” by Donald Barthelme A sculptor in need of money agrees to go on a tv show that deals with the “absurd”, called “Who am I”. But he turns the tables on the host and demonstrates true absurdity.

“The Blue Men” by Joy Williams The stories of Joy Williams dissolve the lines between chaos and certainty in our daily lives. A single word or sentence, heartbreakingly familiar yet utterly unexpected, ushers us abruptly out of bounds, off-limits.
