Now he?s a pretty famous suspense writer, but with his latest book, Going Home in the Dark, it?s actually a comedy. He?s told me that in the past when he?s tried something like this, the publisher?s would push back. They just didn?t get it ? that it was supposed to be funny. But Dean heard my audition and thought I?d get where he was going. He thinks I?ve done a ?bang-up job? with it. He describes me as someone ?who knows funny ? and how not to oversell it?.   So, to honor this good news, we have a P.G. Wodehouse story from the short story collection The Man with Two Left Feet.   And now, The Romance of an Ugly Policeman, by P.G.

A shot rings out, waking the household. A man stumbles out the front door followed by a dowdy woman with a revolver who shoots him again and again. W. Somerset Maugham, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.   Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast.

It all helps.   Today?s story was originally written in 1922, appearing in a collection of stories that came from Maugham?s travels in the Malay provinces. The racism in the story can be hard on the modern ear, but reflects the views of the time. Maugham uses racism as a literary device to fuel the tension in the story, to show the prejudices of the British toward the people they are exploiting. It also demonstrates how the native people in the region resent the British. So, if you?re feeling a bit uncomfortable, it?s by design.   This is one of Maugham?s most famous short stories, and the 1940 Bette Davis film is an excellent adaptation.     And now, The Letter, by W. Somerset Maugham.       Follow this link to become a monthly supporter:     Follow this link to subscribe to our YouTube Channel:     Follow this link to subscribe to the Arsène Lupin Podcast:     Follow this link to follow us on Instagram:     Follow this link to follow us on Facebook:       Follow this link to follow us on TikTok:

It could be vampires, mental illness, or a story about the unfair plight of women with an effective and seemingly effortless denouement.   Today?s story is one of his most famous, and often anthologized.

I am inclined to agree.   The characters are economically written, yes. But Hammett also pauses to set the stage and create a dynamic ambiance in a masterful way. The way he describes Spade?s apartment, or the breeze through the window blowing the cigarette ash on his desk. There are many elements of brilliance with this book, and I?m so excited it?s entered the public domain.   There is a little more course language in this story than in our usual fare, and as with nearly all detective novels of the time, it?s got its share of homophobia and misogyny. Take the time to pause the show and point it out to your kids.     And now, The Maltese Falcon, Part 1 of 8, by Dashiell Hammett.       Follow this link to become a monthly supporter:     Follow this link to subscribe to our YouTube Channel:     Follow this link to subscribe to the Arsène Lupin Podcast:     Follow this link to follow us on Instagram:     Follow this link to follow us on Facebook:       Follow this link to follow us on TikTok:

I think you?ll find we make it worth your while.     I feel like Ray Bradbury almost needs no introduction. As a kid in the 80s, I was astounded at the Disney film, Something Wicked This Way Comes. It ticked all the boxes to my young mind. When I was in high school, I discovered the richness of his storytelling in Dandelion Wine. When I discovered audiobooks, I heard him read to me The Martian Chronicles. He was a great friend of Ray Harryhausen, the great pioneer of stop motion fantasy and adventure films in the 70s and 80s. My father-in-law painted something for Mr. Bradbury, who wrote him back, saying that he had placed his art above his typewriter. Ray Bradbury died in 2012.   Today?s story was originally written in 1948, in the winter edition of Planet Stories. After extensive research it appears the copyright was not renewed.   And now, ?Asleep in Armageddon?, by Ray Bradbury.     Follow this link to order The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, by B.

Can two people really communicate wordlessly with one another? Katherine Mansfield, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.   Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast.

I think you?ll find we make it worth your while.     I learned about Katherine Mansfield from the Pens and Poison Podcast. Professor Alex Moffett talked extensively with host Liza LEEza Libes about Telepathy in literature. I?ve included a link to the episode in the show notes.   Apparently, today?s story, written in 1920, is one of the first instances of communicating telepathically in fiction. Keep in mind it was written over a hundred years ago. It reads like contemporary fiction to me. Mansfield was a friend of Virginia Woolf, and you can really feel her influence, as we weave in and out of the thoughts of each character. It?s almost an experimental piece, feeling out the world of unspoken communication. I hope you like it.   And now, ?Psychology?, by Katherine Mansfield.   Follow this link to hear the Pens and Poison episode about Telepathy in Literature with professor Alex Moffett.     Follow this link to order The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, by B.
