Accidents of timing figure prominently in both stories this week, from the fortunate to the disastrous, by authors Kevin Brockmeier and Lily Tuck.
Andrew White reads author Kevin Brockmeier's "Small Degrees," a lyrical tale about a man obsessed with designing a new type of font, and the consequences of his single-minded pursuit.
Lesley Bevan reads "Next of Kin," by author Lily Tuck. The story starts as a newly wed couple is met with unexpected tragedy just steps outside the church after their wedding, making the bride doubtful of the choices she has made.
Both stories were directed by Edward Sobel and originally presented in the 2005 live performance entitled "Synchronicity," at the Museum of Contemporary Art.
Theme music: "Nomad" by Strunz and Farah
Button music: "Love Letters" by Ketty Lester
