Mandolin’s story “A Monkey Will Never Be Rid Of Its Black Hands” has been podcast

Posted by Ampersand | September 2nd, 2009

Mandolin’s short story “A Monkey Will Never Be Rid Of It’s Black Hands,” previously mentioned on “Alas” when it was honored by storySouth, has now been podcasted by Escape Pod.

Mandolin has said this is her favorite of her own stories, so it’s very worth checking out. (Although I should perhaps warn folks that this is a very harsh story, and includes effects of war mutilations).

For those of you who prefer to receive stories through your eyes, the text of the story is available here.

    I read the text of it, and I have to say it’s a very engaging story. It’s full of the awareness that I see from Mandolin here on the blog, yet not preachy or Aesop-esque. Thanks for sharing!
