a radio show catches the tooth fairy in action.
Sharon Bar-David and Iris Yudai’s The Magic of Falling Teeth, which aired on Re:Sound #84 (scroll down to February 2, 2008, click on the headphones icon, and scroll to the last third of the audio stream), catches the culture of a certain stage of childhood.
There is a kind of warmth that hums around the voices of mother, father, and children, a sense of communion, a gathering together around the ways our mortal bodies change — and with them our sense of what is important changes too.
It’s something close to sentimentalism, but with teeth.
