Best American Short Stories

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Short stories are carefully written gems of literature. They combine compelling characters, drama, and descriptive language, which lead to lively and thought-provoking discussions. Led by a different member of our class each week, we look closely at characterizations, plot, and themes. We may not always agree, but we always learn from each other each time we are together. Our weekly discussions explore works by up and coming, as well as established authors. You will have the opportunity to lead a discussion for a story of your choice. Our texts are The Scribner Anthology of Contemporary Short Fiction, Lex Williford and Michael Martone, Editors, (Scribner, 2007) and The Best American Short Stories 2024, Heidi Pitlor and Lauren Groff, Editors, (HarperCollins, 2024). From time to time, we read the works of guest authors who then join us to add their insights. If you enjoy reading fiction and are interested in exploring the power of the short story, our study group is for you.
