  • サマリー

  • Leading authors draw on themes of arrival, discovery and destination in a collection of six contemporary fiction works written especially for Audible. Commissioned for audio format, these stories are performed by narrators with an acknowledgement to the medieval culture of bards – professional storytellers. 

    In this collection, Claire Fuller and Marina Lewycka explore 'discovery' at different times of our lives; Chigozie Obioma and Adam Thirlwell consider their protagonists' long-held desires through 'destination'; and Sarah Hall and Joanne Harris view 'arrival' through negotiating life-changing events. 

    Bard is one of three short story collections written by our favourite best-selling novelists and emerging authors, and curated based on the themes of arrival, discovery and destination. Jali collates science fiction tales while Skald features six crime stories.

    As an Audio Show - free for members - when you add Bard: The Short Story Collection to your library, you'll get all 6 episodes.

エピソード
  • Ep. 1: Responsible Adult
    2018/04/09

    It is 1971 and Charles, a nine-year-old English boy flies to America on PanAm with his mother and American father. His parents are having marital difficulties and will be leaving him with his paternal grandmother (whom he must call Lillian, never Grandma) for ten days.

    Beautifully observed with a believable child narrator and vivid yet effortless period detail, this is a story that offers a poignant 'moment' in a lonely young child's life as he finds companionship with two star-crossed hotel workers.

  • Ep. 2: The Secrets
    2018/04/10

    A lonely Polish widow sits in her flat with no one for company but her fat feline companion – Boris the Cat. It is near Christmas and she remembers past holidays with Boris (the Husband). An unexpected encounter changes everything when her Pakistani neighbour invites her for a special meal.

    This is a light, funny story in Lewycka's characteristic whimsical style. At its heart, however, it is also a keenly observed examination of ageing, loneliness and the unexpected joy of having prejudices disproved.

  • Ep. 3: Birdlime
    2018/04/10

    A troubled young boy is haunted by the loss of his brother. When he develops a dangerous infatuation with his new teacher, and follows her home one night, his fantasies and hidden desires set in motion a series of events that will cost everyone dear.

    This is a dark twist on the traditional coming of age tale.
