Best American Short Stories




« back to classes page
ClassGraphic If you enjoy reading fiction and are interested in exploring the power of the short story, our study group is for you. The beauty of our group is that at every session, each member has the opportunity to be an active participant in our discussions. Short stories are carefully written gems of literature. They combine compelling characters, drama, and descriptive language, which lead to lively and thought-provoking discussions. Stories are chosen and discussions are led by a different member of our class each week. We will look closely at characterizations, plot, and themes. We may not always agree, but we always learn from each other every time we are together. Our weekly discussions explore works by up and coming, as well as established authors. Our are stories are selected from 100 Great American Short Stories, John Grafton, Editor, (Dover Publications, Inc. 2020), and The Best Short Stories 2026: The O. Henry Prize Winners, Tommy Orange, Editor, (Vintage Books, September, 2026).
