I loved this review. Plotting my 11th-grade rural-boys'-boarding-school curriculum for the year, I got hungrier and hungrier for this book: Hey! We'll listen to Radiolab, learn together how to do a podcast, then do that story pair. Then we'll go into the woods and do another pair. Then we'll read Thoreau and write a pair ourselves. Then...suddenly time disappeared and I was writing a natural-world fiction in my mind myself. This was valuable just for the thought experiment(s!) that it provoked. Thank you.
I just finished reading The History of Sound. I loved every minute of it! Such a great idea for a collection of short stories. Thanks for sharing this interview, which led me to pick up Shattuvk’s book.
Wow, this looks great and I love the idea of sister stories. Definitely putting The History of Sound on my TBR list. Thanks for the interview!

Loved this, John! I'm in the middle of reading this book now, and already one of the best collections I've read in quite a while!
