Guest host Robert Sean Leonard presents four holiday tales--two merry, and two a little melancholy. First, David Rakoff's account of playing the father of psychoanalysis in a department store window. His "Christmas Freud" is read by Jon Glaser. Next, a middle-aged woman awaits a new love, in Edna O'Brien's "Violets," read by Fionnula Flanagan. A young man returns in William Maxwell's "Homecoming," read by Keir Dullea. And Calvin Trillin wants to get out of town in his ditty "Christmas in Qatar," which he reads himself.
Spellbinding short stories by established and emerging writers take on a new life when they are performed by stars of the stage and screen.
