"When people say they use my podcast to fall asleep, it feels slightly insulting," says @NYerFiction's Deborah Treisman on the @_CosmicLibrary_. But fiction and podcasts work in dreamy ways; hear about it all in the finale of this season on short stories:

This week: @NYerFiction's Deborah Treisman, @tayari, @my19thcentury, Becca Rothfeld, and Andrew Kahn. Hear about The NYer's glittering fiction archive—a "very, very diverse and interesting and jumbled-up catalog," in Kahn's words.
@lithub and everywhere!

This week’s show follows conversations on weird fiction and more—there’s @my19thcentury on Poe, Andrew Kahn on the brevity of some weird fiction, and a journey into cosmic strangeness.

"If I know you, and I have not given you a copy of this book, it means I don't like you."
