This week, we devote the program to one of the country’s most celebrated short story writers, Lorrie Moore, in “An Evening with Lorrie Moore.”

Directors Michael E. Myers and Abigail Deser direct stories that showcase Moore’s range as a writer, including stories centered around characters uncomfortable with the current state of their lives.

Kate Fry reads Agnes of Iowa and Joe Foust reads Starving Again.

Theme Music:  “Nomad” by Strunz & Farah

The stories featured in this week’s broadcast were originally presented as part of the 2004 live performance season at the Museum of Contemporary Art.
