Course Schedule – Fall 2024 / Literature / CONTEMPORARY SHORT STORIES
Coordinators: Nancy Richardson, Mary Buchwald, Frieda Lipp
This long-running class discusses short stories from all over the world.
At each class, two members volunteer to choose and present a story, copies of which are made available to everyone. The presenters give a brief background about the author, an even briefer background of the story and then open the class for discussion.
