Fiction, Unabridged
Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates, by Tom Robbins 
Narrated by Keith Szarabajka 
(Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio)
 

Switters is a contradiction for all seasons: an anarchist who works for the government; a pacifist who carries a gun; a cyberwhiz who hates computers; a man obsessed with the preservation of innocence, yet aching to deflower his high-school-age stepsister, or perhaps a nun ten years his senior. As we dog Switters's strangely elevated heels across four continents, in and out of love and danger, we experience Tom Robbins梩hat fearless storyteller, spiritual renegade, and verbal break dancer梐t the top of his game. On one level this is a fast-paced CIA adventure story with comic overtones; on another, it's a serious novel of ideas that brings the Big Picture into unexpected focus; but perhaps more than anything else, Fierce Invalids is a sexy celebration of language and life.

Short Stories/Essays/Collections
Ten by Maugham, by W. Somerset Maugham 
Narrated by British cast 
(KCRW)
 

It has been said that there is a finish, a neatness, an air of accomplishment about every work of Somerset Maugham抯 which ensures a certain quality of pleasure. Maugham抯 irony and cool detachment make him an acknowledged master of the short story. He had a wry perception of human weakness and a unique talent for evoking a sense of time and place; an acute and often sardonic observation of human foibles and a particular genius for exposing the bitter realities of human relationships. Maugham creates concise dramas played out by unforgettable characters, all of which make for compelling listening. Now, KCRW presentsTen by Maugham, a ten-hour series of Maugham抯 unsurpassed short stories. Rosalind Ayres directs a cast of highly accomplished British actors as they perform such gems as 揟he Three Fat Women of Antibes,� 揟he Consul,� 揟he Point of Honor,� 揟he Alien Corn,� 揂 Casual Affair,� and 揟he Ant and the Grasshopper.�
