Tonight, I went to this, “Magical Realism: The World of Marvelous Stories with Neil Gaiman,” a night of four stories hosted by Selected Shorts on NPR. There were two stories by Gaiman, the first read by the author, a story by Kat Howard from Gaiman’s co-edited collection Stories, and one by Jorges Luis Borges. (Any discussion of magical realism is, by law, required to include Borges, though Gabriel Garcia Marquez will probably do in a pinch.) I had a really great seat, fron row center, and enjoyed myself quite a bit. I thought actor Marin Ireland, apparently making her debut on Selected Shorts, was particularly good. I didn’t stay for the book signing.
And, as I write this, I’m waiting on my train home.
That was my Wednesday. How ’bout you?
