The purpose of this assignment is to listen to a short story instead of reading one, and, thereby, to participate in the cultural feast (which has gone on for many thousands of years) of oral story-telling. Listen to the following podcast as Tessa Hadley reads the story “City Lovers” by Nadine Gordimer [Audio: 52.24min].
Attend to what the reader and the host discuss before and after the story as well.
