Last night I listened to a podcast from the "New Yorker" magazine, called The Fiction Podcast. This particular episode was a short story entitled "Emergency", written by Denis Johnson, and read by Tobias Wolff. This story was originally published in the "New Yorker" magazine in 1991.
The story starts out in a hospital in 1973. It is about 2 friends that are employees of this hospital, and their adventures after ingesting hallucinogenic drugs stolen from work.
While this story is mildly disturbing in many ways, I absolutely loved it.
Click here to listen to, or download this story. I don't recommend listening to it as a bedtime story though.
After listening to Tobias Wolff read "Emergency", I was feeling a little weird, and decided to listen to some music to kind of help lull me to sleep. I checked out Juana Molina. I liked it, and hope to hear more from her in the future. You can find some of her videos on the side bar to the left of this post.
