Short Stories
The Dome by Stephen Milhauser.
"Things in the world now appear smaller, more toylike. An object that once towered above us—a tall pine, a steep
hill, a snowcapped mountain— is itself dwarfed by the Dome, which by the ever-present fact of its vastness
miniaturizes what it encloses." --Steven Millhauser, “The Dome”
Read by Alec Baldwin. Duration: 19m 52s
