Full course description
Description
With contemporary subjects and eclectic styles, short stories from 1970 to the present are packed with meaning but not necessarily with tell-all endings. That job is usually left to the reader. Not to worry! With a few simple techniques, we will have the satisfaction of revealing the power and pleasure within these small but mighty stories—-and classes full of spirited discussions. Required text: The Penguin Book of the Modern American Short Story, edited by John Freeman.Class Time(s)1:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST
