Selected Shorts: Edith Wharton
#UB1712
Set of two CDs
$19.95
Four short stories by Edith Wharton--"Mrs. Manstey's View," "Roman Fever," "The Reckoning," and "Xingu"--are presented as read in public performances, complete with audience sighs, gasps, and amused chuckles. Wharton's sense of irony comes across loud and clear when her stories are read aloud--the surprise ending of "Roman Fever" was especially a crowd pleaser. Acclaimed actresses performed in the setting of The Mount, Wharton's home in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts. For those blessed with a short commute, short-story readings offer just a little literature on the go!
