What is the outlook of a story? Hello listener, welcome to my podcast series: The Story explorer. I am a reader who has the need to talk with others about what I’ve read. I have started and joined many book clubs. I now run one in a little café in Johannesburg. You are all welcome to join. But because time is sparse for many of us and Johannesburg is not within travelling distance for many readers I am taking up the challenge to talk about books in a podcast. I believe a story always is embedded in something else. This will be the starting point of this podcast journey. I want to look at what is around the story; what is the location? Who are the characters? What is it that happens in the story? What does it do within me, the reader? What do I think the author wants to say? What does this story make me think about? These are questions I want to explore with books that I think are important. Books I believe we all should read and talk about.

Discover the mastery of short story writer Lydia Davis
Listen and be captivated by her exquisite brief stories. In this episode you can join me on a journey to discover Lydia Davis, winner of the 2013 Man Booker International Prize- now known as the International Booker Prize. She is renowned for her exceptionally brief stories. Some are just one sentence long, but don’t let their brevity fool you. Each story can make you pause, contemplate and bring you delight in unexpected ways. Rather than just interpreting her work or telling you why I think her books are worth reading, I’ll be sharing four of Lydia Davis’ short stories with you: stories that I believe are quite unique. A special thanks to Stuart Cairns from Love Books in Melville for introducing me to Lydia Davis’ work last year. It’s been a great ride to discover her voice. In this episode you’ll hear: -Sketches for a Life of Wassily; -Almost No Memory: -Money & -Travelling with Mother. You can find these stories in: The Collected Stories of Lydia Davis, copyright © Lydia Davis, 2004. I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I enjoyed reading them.
