1 小时 22 分钟I'm Deborah Treisman, fiction editor at the New Yorker.
Thanks for listening to the New Yorker Fiction podcast.
As you know, every month I invite a current fiction writer to read and discuss a story from the New Yorker archive.
What you may not know is that the New Yorker Fiction podcast isn't the only place to hear readings of short stories from the magazine.
Each week, we invite the author of the short story in that week's issue to record his or her piece for the New Yorkers website.
Starting later this month, we'll be making those recordings available for free on a new podcast called the author's new fiction from the New Yorker.
To give you a special preview of what you can expect on the author's voice, we've put together this anthology of three recent readings.
First, you'll hear Michael Cunningham reading his updated fairy tale Little Mandy, which appeared in the magazine's August 10, 2015, issue.
Next will be Zadie Smith reading her story escape from New York, which was published in the June 8, 2015, issue.
And finally, Tom Hanks reading his fiction piece Alan Bean four, which appeared in the magazine in October of 2014.
If you like what you hear, please remember to subscribe to the author's voice.
Just search for the author's voice in your podcast app.
Well be back here next month with a new episode of the New Yorker fiction podcast.
Enjoy the readings.
Little man what if you had a child?
If you had a child, your life would be about more than getting through the various holiday rushes and wondering exactly how insane misses widders and accounts payable is going to be on any given day.
It'd be about procuring tiny shoes and pull toys and dental checkups.
It'd be about paying into a college fund, the unextraordinary house to which you return nightly.
It'd be someone's future.
Er, house.
