  1. PRI Selected Shorts: New York “Lost and Found”

    This special program recognizes the 10th anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the character of New York City.

    Colson Whitehead’s essay “Lost and Found” was originally published in The New York Times Magazine on November 11th, 2001—one of a series of special commissions asking writers to celebrate the city in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. For this program, we offer Whitehead’s essay in a touching reading by Alec Baldwin, paired with an arresting story by the Japanese writer Haruki Murakami, “U.F.O. in Kushiro,” read by Ken Leung.

  2. Finding Emilie

    In this segment, we take an emotional left turn to a story of a very different kind of lost and found. We begin with a college student, Alan Lundgard, who fell in love with a fellow art student, Emilie Gossiaux. Emilie’s mom, Susan Gossiaux, describes her daughter, and the terrible phone call she recieved from Alan nine months after he became Emilie’s boyfriend. Together, Susan and Alan tell Jad and Robert about the devastating fork in the road that left Emilie lost in a netherworld, and how Alan found her again.

  3. Seeing Impostors: When Loved Ones Suddenly Aren’t

    Numerous sci-fi films since have capitalized on our fear of being surrounded by duplicates — replicas who look just like our loved ones but are not. And while there have so far been no confirmed cases of a human being replaced by an alien or any other life-form, the feeling that your loved one has been replaced by someone else can be very real.

  5. Mary Gaitskill | Don’t Cry: Stories

    The stories in Don’t Cry share the psychological intensity and dramatic denouement of her earlier collection, Bad Behavior. Michiko Kakutani, writing for the New York Times, remarks, ”Gaitskill writes with such authority, such radar-perfect detail, that she is able to make even the most extreme situations seem real.” Gaitskill’s previous books include the National Book Award-nominated novel Veronica and the PEN/Faulkner Award-nominated story collection Because They Wanted To; her stories often appear in the New Yorker, Harper’s, and The Best American Short Stories series.
