The story in the magazine’s October 7th, 2024, issue is “<a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/10/07/stories-about-us-fiction-lore-segal">Stories About Us</a>” by Lore Segal. Segal wasn’t able to read her story for the podcast. But, in 2010, on the <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-new-yorker-fiction/id256945396">New Yorker Fiction Podcast</a>, Jennifer Egan read and discussed a different story by Lore Segal—“<a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1989/05/01/the-reverse-bug">The Reverse Bug</a>,” from 1989—and we wanted to share this bonus sampling of Segal’s work with you instead.
