Listen to "The Open Window" by Saki, performed by Veronica Murphy

The Open Window is recommended by Jennifer Geran at the City Heights Library. “Besides being clever and funny, this very short story is a masterpiece of characterization and explication. The last line isn't exactly necessary, but I find myself quoting it once in a while, if the situation warrants.” Read a copy here and listen to Jennifer talk about why she recommended it.

Hector Hugh Munro better known by the pen name Saki was a British writer who wrote witty, mischievous and macabre stories satirizing society and culture. Get more on Saki.
