Storyological 4.01 - INFINITE SNOW PLOWS AND THE PERFECT UNRECKONING

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. "Sweet on the Tongue" by Roxane Gay, Ayiti, 2017 (read online in LitHub)

2. "Parakeets" by Kevin Brockemeier, View from the Seventh Layer (read online in Granta)

Along with, among other things...

That one book, Grief Works by Julia Samuel
That one film, Take This Waltz
And that other film, The Abyss
Also, Safety Not Guaranteed and I’m a Cyborg but That's Okay
A discussion from the episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer called "Lie to Me" (a YouTube clip of that discussion)
That one bookstore Pages of Hackney, a most excellent indie bookstore in London which you should visit
A poem quoted in Before Sunrise by W.H. Auden, “As I Walked Out One Evening”
An interview with Kevin Brockmeier did with Chris for The Yalobusha Review
