StoryTalk - Ep 00002 - Wait By Roy Kesey

After a fortnight of waiting for our next episode, what better than two absurd romps through worlds where people are waiting? Hannah's characters await the call on the red phone, the implementation of "Project Who, Me?",  to get off or on the plane or out of the airport, for the power to come back on, for the delegates to stop beating senseless the Belgian who suggested passing the time with a spelling bee.Two absurd (yet oddly plausible) tales of the moments, hours, days before the onslaught of total chaos and destruction: which one do YOU think is the Non-Existent Story?

The Non Existent Story # 15 -APOCALYPTIC WAITING. Hannah & Roy Kesey

Roy Kesey is the guest. His latest story collection, Any Deadly Thing, is now available from Dzanc Books.Elizabeth Crane says"Roy Kesey's stories in Any Deadly Thing are perfect, masterful portraits of an international cross-section of wise, broken souls—hopeful, brutal, funny as hell, and heart-crushing, every last one."And San Diego City Beat raves"Most short-story writers are like baseball pitchers. The really good ones have four or five different pitches, but most only have two or three that they've perfected and go to over and over again. Kesey is more like a five-tool outfielder: He can do it all. In Any Deadly Thing, he collects stories about lovable losers, tales of hardscrabble redemption, experimental fiction, Bosnian war stories and expat tales set in Beijing apartments and Peruvian jungles. There's no limit to the man's imagination."Monologue topics: mail, focusing the podcast on writing, Molly Ringwald, digressions, fame, voicemail, rapping, blushing.  Learn more about your ad choices.
