David Galef Story on Selected Shorts

A story by David Galef, professor in the Department of English and director of the creative writing program, will be featured on the public radio show Selected Shorts. Produced by Symphony Space, the show will be hosted by Ruth K. Westheimer and recorded on Feb. 8.

For this Valentine’s show, the producers selected Galef’s short story “My Date with Neanderthal Woman,” from his story collection of the same name.

Galef is the author of more than a dozen books, including the recent Brevity: A Flash Fiction Handbook. His other books include the novels Flesh, Turning Japanese, and How to Cope with Suburban Stress, as well as the short story collections Laugh Track and My Date with Neanderthal Woman.

The iconic “Dr. Ruth,” who is hosting the Feb. 8 production, visited Montclair State University to give a lecture on Nov. 9, 2016.
