Nightly Prose: Recent Episodes
Jon Sherburne
This show is simply me reading a series of novels, essays, and short stories that sit with me in some interesting way or another. Come for something to fall asleep to, something to occupy you in the car, or wherever else you need a voice to fill in the gaps.
This short piece is the ending of our first endeavor together, Owl. An excited, intriguing, and all-around fascinating read. Thank you for joining me.
In this section, we look at Owl's first experiences hunting, his interaction with other birds, and start to cycle into the final chapters.
This episode features the middle portion of William Service's "Owl". He discusses Owl's endeavors with other animals, people, and a growing source of knowledge on the anatomy and specificity of Asio Otus.
This episode translates pages 22-40, covering a lot of ground on the young life of our feathered hero. Thanks for listening!
"The size of a beer can...the personality of a bank president...adopted and raised by William Service, his wife and their three children; sibling rival to a dog, a cat, a turtle and a parakeet..."
Owl is the story of an orphaned owl and the family who raised him, an educational account of not only a family but of a peculiar bird that doesn't quite belong.
