Short Stories: Volume 2: British and Irish Authors Read Their Own Work

Following the success of its first set of authors reading their own short stories, The British Library is proud to present a second volume featuring a further fifteen stories. As before, the majority of the recordings take the form of historic broadcasrs sourced from the BBC, to which a handful of rare live recordings have been added. The stories range from humorous anecdotes to more extensive pieces investigating social issues, and the twelve authors include such prestigious names as Harold Pinter, Angela Carter, Somerset Maugham, Sean O'Faolain and Edna O'Brien. All the recordings are being published for the first time.
