AUTOCORRECT Stories

Although six narrators are at work on this short story collection, they all share the same vocal palette. The narrative tone features absurdity and black humor, two examples of which are Sacha Chambers's narration of "The Future Is Not What It Used to Be," which combines time travel and weight loss, and Matt Godfrey's delivery of "A World Without Selfie Sticks," in which a man meets a more successful version of himself. Max Meyers demonstrates another narrative quality--melancholy and regret--in "Cherry Garcia Memories with M&M's on Top," a story about wartime recollections. Isolation, disconnection, and the meaning of love are also familiar themes, as demonstrated in Gilli Messer's narration of "Gondola" and Jennifer Rubins's reading of "Point of No Return." The 33-story collection runs for 4 hours and 35 minutes. R.W.S. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2025]
