  Although Katherine Mansfield was born in New Zealand in 1888, she spent much of her short life in England and on the Continent. As she wrote about the privileged worlds she encountered there, her stories quickly attracted literary attention. Prelude was hand-published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf at their Hogarth Press. Readers today still applaud the grace with which Mansfield fuses image, mood and meaning. Here are ten of Katherine Mansfield’s extraordinary tales. The exquisite narration by Jenny Sterlin gracefully captures both their subtle moments and their startling revelations. A whispered phrase, a ring twisting on a finger—each becomes a symbol for the broader emotional forces at work. Included are: The Baron, The Modern Soul, Prelude, At the Bay, Bliss, The Man Without a Temperament, The Daughter of the Late Colonel, The Garden-Party, Miss Brill, and The Doll’s House.

  "Narrator Katharine Chin nails the dark humor and flat tone of this bizarre and fascinating short story collection."- AudioFile A new creation by the author of Severance, Bliss Montage crashes through our carefully built mirages.What happens when fantasy tears the screen of the everyday to wake us up? Could that waking be our end?In Bliss Montage, Ling Ma brings us eight wildly different tales of people making their way through the madness and reality of our collective delusions: love and loneliness, connection and possession, friendship, motherhood, the idea of home. A woman lives in a house with all her ex-boyfriends. A toxic friendship grows up around a drug that makes you invisible. An ancient ritual might heal you of anything—if you bury yourself alive. These and other scenarios investigate the ways that the outlandish and the ordinary are shockingly, deceptively, heartbreakingly alike.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

  5 Science Fiction Stories by Mac...

  Five early stories by one of my favorite SF writers, Mack Reynolds.  Medal of Honor is an intriguing look into the mind of someone who is above the law; who cannot commit a crime.  How will he act? especially if he is a self centered drunk?  Potential Enemy is story about the sad state of human minds that are ruled by fear and paranoia.  Happy Ending is an SF story about the far future when the last solar system wide dictator has been finally defeated and what will he do?  What will he do? This is also an exploration of mental megalomania and it's effects.  His happy ending is perhaps suitable, but probably not so happy.   A Gun For Hire explores in a light hearted but painful way, the fact that hired guns are just that: hired.  The final story is the funniest of the lot the and is set in Tangiers in the present or very near future.  UFO's are a crackpot idea, right?  well perhaps not.  - Summary by Phil Chenevert

  A-Birding on a Bronco

  Florence Augusta Merriam Bailey was an American ornithologist and nature writer. She started observing bird behavior at a time when most bird study was based on collections and skins. By 1885, she began to write articles focusing on protecting birds. Her introduction of a birdwatching field guide, aimed at living birds, is considered the first in the tradition of modern bird guides. She wrote the first of these at the age of 26, initially as a series of notes in the Audubon Magazine and later as books. In "A-Birding on a Bronco," she writes an engaging memoir about her several trips to study birds on a ranch in California in the late 1800's.
