A Visit to the Husband Archive

The Time Traveler's Passport

De: Kaliane Bradley

Narrado por: Mirai

A woman discovers her hidden potential in this dystopian short story about memory, identity, and imagination from Kaliane Bradley, the New York Times bestselling author of The Ministry of Time.

Nobody likes being on agricultural rotation, and with this heat wave, it’s almost more than Ester can take. She’s itching for something she can’t put words to—something she has no memory of wanting. But then, she can’t remember much beyond the past couple of years. She’s sent to the husband archive for a cure, but the man she checks out comes with baggage: stacks and stacks of paper he calls “books.” What they teach each other may prove hard to forget.

Kaliane Bradley’s A Visit to the Husband Archive is part of The Time Traveler’s Passport, an unforgettable collection of stories about memory, identity, and choice curated by New York Times bestselling anthologist John Joseph Adams. Watch time fly as you read or listen to each short story in a single sitting.
