Read Me to Sleep, Ricky
Stories from The Quarterly (Issue 1, Spring 1987)
The Quarterly was a literary magazine edited by Gordon Lish from 1987 to 1995. (I was Mr. Lish's editorial assistant in the early '90s.) I'll read three stories from the Spring 1987 first issue of the journal: "The Harvest" by Amy Hempel, "Sea Animals" by Tom Spanbauer, and "The Slit" by Yannick Murphy.
Gordon Lish is an acclaimed author and editor. A former editor at Esquire and Alfred A. Knopf, he is celebrated for his notable work with authors including Raymond Carver, Denis Donoghue, Barry Hannah, Amy Hempel, Gary Lutz, Ben Marcus, and Christine Schutt, among many others. His previous books include Dear Mr. Capote, What I Know So Far, Mourner at the Door, Extravaganza, White Plains, Peru, Zimzum, The Selected Stories of Gordon Lish, and more. He is married and lives in New York. He is 89 years old.
Read Me to Sleep, Ricky is hosted by Rick Whitaker and produced in New York City.
