Storyological 3.12 - ON DEATH AND ZOOEY DESCHANEL

Storyological

Storyological is a podcast about stories. In particular, short stories. In particular, any sort of short story that amazes us. Sometimes we talk about stories in Clarkesworld. Sometimes in Granta. Sometimes we talk about comics. Very occasionally we talk about films. Every episode, writers E.G Cosh and Chris Kammerud discuss how stories work and why they matter and what it is about these particular stories that we love more than anything.

In which we discuss,

1. "When We Were Happy We Had Other Names" by Yiyun Li, New Yorker, 2018.

2. "Don't Look Now" by Daphne du Maurier, Not After Midnight, 1971.

along with, among other things...

Gandalf's magical walking stick, a reddit discussion
Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz discussing British slang, Youtube
That one episode of Storyological where we discussed Stuart Dybek's story, "Pet Milk"
The Human Stain by Philip Roth, a review
The Artist's Way, thought over many years after its publication
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, a blog by litbitch about it (also, recently, a Netflix thing)
That one other Daphne du Maurier short story, "The Birds"
