Black and White Dog
Episode 1 of 3
Sasha Pick reads Black and White Dog, the first in our selection of short stories from Louise Stern's debut collection. Tenderness and love are undermined by a troubling memory.
Black and White Dog is the first in our selection of short stories from Louise Stern's debut collection. In this story about love and family, a memory from Beth's childhood casts a shadow. What sets Beth apart is that like Stern herself she has grown up deaf, and reveals a world that is at times unfamiliar and hard to grasp, but one that at the same time is instantly understood.
Alan Warner says: "An amazing debut. Vibrantly perceptive, gentle, funny and profound."
The reader is Sasha Pick.
Abridged and produced by Elizabeth Allard.
