Problems without Solutions
Thursday, 12 February, 2026

This week on SELECTED SHORTS, host Meg Wolitzer presents three stories about problems without solutions.  In Elif Batuman’s “The Board,” read by Cindy Cheung, the protagonist has found the perfect apartment, but he has to satisfy a Kafka-esque co-op committee.  Jesse Eisenberg imagines an irritating sibling with problems of global proportions in ““My Little Sister Texts Me with Her Problems,” read by real-life sisters Lacey Lamar and Amber Ruffin.  And a patient is drawn to her therapist—but is this a bad thing? in Esther Freud’s “Transference,” read by Claire Danes.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
