Tap dancing Twizzlers, cockroach warriors, and fairy tales! Oh my!
Podcast: NPR's Book of the DayPublished On: Fri Jun 24 2022
Description: Two collections of short stories, both alike in playfulness in our fair podcast. The first is with Gwen Kirby whose debut collection of short stories is called, hilariously, Shit Cassandra Saw. It ranges from radioactive cockroaches to tapdancing Twizzlers. Kirby told NPR's Mary Louise Kelly that writing this book was a cathartic experience. The second interview is with Helen Oyeyemi about her collection of short stories, What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours. The stories are fairy tales, though not traditional ones. Oyeyemi told NPR's Steve Inskeep that she likes fairy tales because they endure.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
