Non-MX Articles: John Shea (6/09 What Was Mine)
Excerpt from WNYC 6/21/09: John Shea
Postcards from the Edge
Sunday, June 21, 2009
Ann Beattie’s work in fiction includes the novels The Chilly Scenes of Winter and The Doctor’s House, and her short story collections include The Burning House; Park City: New and Selected Stories.; and Follies: New Stories. She has been honored by the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters and is a recipient of a PEN/Bernard Malamud Award for excellence in the short story form and the prestigious Rea Award for the Short Story (in 2005). Her poignant tale, “What Was Mine” (from Park City ,) calls into question what constitutes a family, and is read by regular SHORTS leading man John Shea. In this, as in many of the other stories Shea has read for us over the years, the point of view is that of a young boy just learning how the world works.
