Ben Shattuck, author of Six Walks: In the Footsteps of Henry David Thoreau, joins us to discuss his new collection of stories, The History of Sound.


Written with breathtaking humanity and humor, The History of Sound is a love letter to New England, a radiant conversation between past and present, and a moving meditation on the abiding search for home. 


Each story has a companion story, which contains a revelation about the previous, paired story. Mysteries and murders are revealed, history is refracted, and deep emotional connections are woven through characters and families.


"Intricately structured, powerfully emotional, beautifully written: This is as good as short fiction gets." –Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
