1 小时 3 分钟This is the New Yorker fiction podcast from The New Yorker magazine.
I'm Deborah Treisman, fiction editor at The New Yorker.
Each month we invite a writer to choose a story from the magazine's archives to read and discuss.
This month we're going to hear Two Pilgrims by Peter Taylor,
which appeared in The New Yorker in September of 1963.
Then I heard Mr.
Louder and my uncle open the back doors of the car.
While the car was still moving, they leaped out onto the ground.
They both were big men,
more than six feet tall and with sizable stomachs that began just below the breastbone.
But they sprinted off in the direction of the house like two boys.
The story was chosen by Danielle Moenedin,
who is the author of the story collection In Other Rooms, Other Wonders,
a winner of the Commonwealth Writers' Prize,
and the novel This Is Where the Serpent Lives, which came out earlier this year.
Hi, Danielle.
Hello, how are you?
I'm good.
So you mentioned to me when we were discussing this podcast that your mother knew Peter Taylor and interviewed him for the Paris Review.
Can you tell me a bit about that connection?
