Episode 15: Julia Pierpont & Gabriel Roth
On this episode, we’ve got stories of children trying to make sense of the world… and adults trying to do the same. Figuring out the unspoken rules, trying to get the answers they want, a little lost, a little hopeful, a little strange. Julia Pierpont reads her short story, “Times For Us Alone,” and Gabriel Roth reads from his novel, The Unknowns (which is fantastic and which you should read).
