First, Tony Award-winner Kathleen Chalfont reads Alice McDermott's "Enough," a tale, as "Selected Shorts" host Isaiah Sheffer puts it, "about a woman who wants more food, more cuddling -- more of life."
The second reader, Jane Fonda, has certainly had a full one, and here presents an excerpt from her bestselling autobiography "My Life So Far" -- an affecting section about working with her emotionally reticent father, Henry and feisty legend Katherine Hepburn on the set of "On Golden Pond."
There are currently a dozen "Selected Shorts" thematic CDs, which feature listeners' best-loved stories, including "Baseball!," "Timeless Classics," "Food Fictions," "Travel Tales," "Falling in Love," "Edith Wharton," and most recently, "Pets!," "Tales of Betrayal," "Family Matters" and "Wartime Lives."
