I was going to run the last of the Stay readings today but after being blown away yesterday by Karina‘s vid I thought I’d post the “Touching Fire” reading she used. There a 90-second context-setting introduction, then a 9-minute reading. (Below is the direct link to the .mp3 for those of you who don’t/can’t use Flash.) Enjoy.

Next week I’ll do the last Stay reading, and after that I’ll tackle Ammonite and Slow River and Always. But I’ll leaven it with a few songs.
By the way, thanks to Dave (who is always prodding me to keep up, keep up–I’d still be using a pencil, probably, if not for him) you can now subscribe to the Nicola Griffith Podcast to listen to all my audio on your iPod (or whatever). Have fun.
I just listened to this again. Because playing it on an iPod loop for 10 hours straight while I walked or rode a bus around Vancouver or sat on a bench imagining a vid were not enough. And then 18 more hours while I sliced and matched to music and images also weren’t enough.>>The curious thing is that after so much time spent together, the reading has now morphed in my head. The parts that I used for the vid, I hear with music and see the flicker of images in my mind. It’s so strange! While the ones I didn’t use, are as they are. Beautiful but untouched. I wonder if I can play with them later.
karina, well, that’s what art does, it changes things. And I’m talking about <>your<> art now, the vid.
