Facilitating Change

Audio

• Nathan Englander reads Isaac Bashevis Singer’s “Disguised” for The New Yorker’s monthly reading and conversation with Deborah Treisman. Englander’s voice couldn’t be more perfect.

• Early in his career, professor Mark Rowlands had two loves: philosophy and Brenin, a wolf he was forced to bring along to his lectures. Through their relationship, Rowlands started examining his work and life. Listen on CBC’s Ideas, via EarIdeas.

• Every month, The New Yorker’s fiction editor, Deborah Treisman, hosts a reading and conversation with a well-known writer. August 2009  featured Joshua Ferris reading George Saunders’s “Adams.” The rhythm is magnificent.
