I worry that I use too many exclamation points. I've read that they're like bullying. Still, I am listening to Shirley Jackson as I type these words. I must exclaim, because I am, you will recall, obsessed with her.
On Valentine's Day, Jessa Crispin did a post at Blog of a Bookslut on the possible reasons behind Shirley Jackson's name being missing from the list of great twentieth century authors. In her post she has embedded a link to Jackson reading from her short story, The Daemon Lover on an album.
I couldn't make out the words, but it was her voice. At least, that's what Jessa says.
Oh, neat!
ReplyDeleteI always loved it when, in high school English courses, we got to listen to the original scratchy recording of voices like T.S. Eliot and the like.
I remember listening to a few of those, though I can't remember the authors involved.
