New Yorker Books Podcast: The Dating Game

Published Jun 21 2007, 02:36 PM by Sharon Steel

The New Yorker was destined to have a books podcast at some point. The Dating Game is the first edition, featuring a discussion between Edwidge Danticat and fiction editor, Deborah Treisman. They chat about Junot Díaz’s 1995 short story “How to Date a Brown Girl (Black Girl, White Girl, or Halfie)" from his collection Drown. And included is a reading of the story by Díaz, from from the CD “The New Yorker Out Loud, Vol. 2.”

Stream the mp3 here, go to The New Yorker Out Loud page to download, or subscribe to the fiction podcast from The New Yorker feed at the iTunes store.
