To start your Valentine's Day we take you to a 1950's courting scene in Montreal. This Listening Clip is from the story The Chosen Husband, by Mavis Gallant. It is one of fourteen stories selected by Russell Banks and printed in Canada by McClelland and Stewart Ltd. in 2004 under the title Montreal Stories and simultaneously in the United States by The New York Review of Books under the title Varieties of Exile.
The unabridged audio edition of Montreal Stories is narrated by Margot Dionne and published by Rattling Books. It's part of our February Special on short fiction.
