Family Matters

GUEST HOST: HOPE DAVIS

Description

Guest host Hope Davis presents stories about family ties. A mixed-race college student has a comic encounter in "My Brother at the Canadian Border," by Sholeh Wolpe, read by Maulik Pancholy. Next, marriage is for better, or worse, in Lauren Schenkman's "A Guide to Fooling Yourself", read by Kaneza Schaal.

Our third story is a classic: a young man meets his boozy dad in "Reunion," by John Cheever, read by Bruce Altman. And in our final work, Pulitzer Prize-winning Viet Thanh Nguyen tells a heartbreaking and mystical tale of Vietnamese immigrants in "Black-Eyed Women." The reader is Jennifer Ikeda.
