SELECTED SHORTS host Meg Wolitzer presents two gripping stories about people in flight. In Rebecca Makkai’s “The Suitcase,” performed by Victor Garber, an escaped prisoner assumes another man’s identity. In “Paradise,” by Yxta Maya Murray, a young widow and mother runs from a fire, but can’t escape the challenges of her family life. Tanis Parenteau is the reader.
