Book 60 > The Sun Also Rises

Dick Van Dyke's British Accent invites you to experience the reunion episode of Shipwreck in the comfort of your earholes. We invite seven formerly dignified writers to take on adult characters from P.L. Travers's series of novels about haunted nannies and talented *ahem* chimney sweeps. Does Mrs. Banks have a first name? And what the heck's a "matchman" anyhow? Can and should you absolutely still be shopping at Booksmith on its website booksmith.com and enjoying free shipping in San Francisco? Join us to find out. Stories from Maggie Tokuda-Hall and Joe Wadlington (as Jeananne Tonic), Amanda Rosenberg, Molly Sanchez, Michael Howley, Kirstie Haruta, and Alan Leggitt. Stories read by Baruch Porras-Hernandez.

Break out the Cutty Sark and jump in the nearest well: it's time for The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. We take four humans and two animals from Murakami's most iconic book and assign them to six writers tasked with the impossible: creating even weirder sex scenes than the ones in the book. Is naming yourself Malta better or worse than saying 'the loo' after your year abroad? Is Toru the most boring person in all of literature? Will there be weird asides about spaghetti and the war? Turn on, tune in, and mope out.Stories from Danielle Truppi, Sarah Blake, Corin Chellberg, Calvin Albright, Christina Ortega, and one anonymous donor. Stories performed by Baruch Porras-Hernandez.

Hey Whalers, and welcome back aboard The Good Ship Wreck, where we take on possibly the only book with more penis jokes than an episode of this show. We'll talk whale facts, take that smarmy Captain Ahab down a peg, and confess our sincere, unabashed love for this truly unhinged tale of whale vengeance and smokin' hot platonic love. To put it in Melville's own words: “I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing.”With stories from Ash Fisher, Corin Chellberg, Louis Evans, Brian Troutwine, Rebecca Rubenstein, and Ali Meza. Stories performed by Baruch Porras-Hernandez. Ballot art by Katie Morton.

Hey hunnys. If Disney can make Christopher Robin look like a horror film, we can make the Pooh Forest universe into an orgy. After all, as Pooh himself famously said, "You don't spell [love]...you feel it." So let's feel it together, with thanks to Meg Elison, Lauren Parker, Maia Jannele, Joe Wadlington, Sarah Manolis, and The Horrible Heffal-hump. Stories performed by Baruch Porras-Hernandez.

Sexual tension, heavy drinking, sensitive characters, intolerable heat, and it all ends in madness? Yep, sounds like Shipwreck. Thanks to Anand Vedawala, Spencer Tierney, Mel Burke, Alan Leggitt, Kelly Anneken, and Joe Wadlington for helping us take ol' Tennessee "Best Play Ever" Williams down a peg. Stories performed by Baruch Porras-Hernandez.

The main thing that Shipwreck and The Sun Also Rises have in common is that they render sex thoroughly unappetizing and deeply frightening for all parties involved. We hope Sebastian Sangervasi, Adriana Vazquez, Kirstie Haruta, Vivienne Pustell, and Corin Chellberg are enjoying their hangovers from our Pamplona vacation. Stories performed by Baruch Porras-Hernandez.

You would think that removing the children from A Wrinkle in Time would improve it considerably, but unfortunately that means you're left with religious overtones, a bunch of witches who think they're better than you, and a general sense of being disappointed by your parents. With thanks to Annalee Newitz, Yona Malone, Lily Miller, Molly Sanchez, and Sarah Lyn Rogers for tesser-acting in good faith. Stories performed by Baruch Porras-Hernandez.
