Uncharted Territories

Selected Shorts | May 4, 2017
Guest host Sonia Manzano presents three works about entering uncharted territories.  An early John Updike fable, “The Different One,” imagines a bold bunny.  It’s read by Michael Emerson.  A gentrified town morphs into a dreamscape in Steven Millhauser’s “Coming Soon,” ready by David Morse.  And Kirstin Valdez Quade’s essay “Youth From Every Quarter” looks at the harsher side of assimilation.  It’s read by Manzano.
