Peep Show — Nathan Englander

A Vintage Shorts “Short Story Month” Selection

Allen Fein -- née Ari Feinberg -- is on his way to Port Authority when he hears it: “Girls,” the hawker says. “Three-hundred-and-sixty-degree all-around stage.” This is the Times Square Allen remembers. But he's a married man now. Well, maybe one little peek . . .

From one of the most dazzling voices in contemporary literature, “Peep Show” is a funny, surprising, surreal story of sexual longing and the deeper shadows of desire. In the peep show, you never know who's behind the curtain. A selection from the acclaimed volume What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank, winner of the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
