Occasional Magic

Occasional Magic: True Stories about Defying the Impossible / The Moth, edited by Catherine Burns, 348 p.

A lovely collection of stories told first on The Moth in front of live audiences.  Some of them are funny, others poignant, and all of them entertaining.  My favorites: "Quiet Fire," about a mime with roving hands, "Leaving Baghdad," and "Charlie Ravioli," about a unique imaginary friend.
