Dutch artist, activist and author Bette A. has released this book of short stories, simultaneously dropping a vinyl record 2 Short Stories that sees the writer reading two of her stories—“The Endless House” and “The Other Village”—backed by the music of Brian Eno. This isn’t the first time that A. and Eno have worked together, previously collaborating on the What Art Does book. But it’s the audio element of this multi-media project that is so fascinating. Eno’s famously minimalist approach works beautifully with A.’s words. You really need to have the book and the vinyl to get the full effect.
