The Audio Series: Jesse Bradley

Our new audio series "The Authors Read. We Listen." is an incredibly special one for us. Hatched in a NYC club during BEA week, this feature requires more work of the author than any of the ones that have come before. And that makes it all the more sweeter when you see, or rather, hear them read excerpts from their own novels, in their own voices, the way their stories were meant to be heard.


Today, Jesse Bradley reads to us from his book It Smells Like Plastic and Hurt Feelings (published by KUBOA). Bradley is the author of Bodies Made of Smoke (HOUSEFIRE, 2012). He is the Web Editor of Monkeybicycle and lives at iheartfailure.net.

It Smells Like Plastic and Hurt Feelings hasn't found a home on goodreads yet and its amazon page is descriptionless. Kuboa, his publisher, has listed all of their books free for digital download here. I have to admit, I was enticed by how much effort went into keeping this thing a secret. So I downloaded it (among others). You should too.
