CE-COLGM 2059 - Short Story
Leader: Christine Bobkoff, Collegium member, Westchester Community College senior adjunct professor of English and recipient of Adjunct Excellence in Teaching award, Chappaqua Library book-group leader. I have a friend who leaves short story collections in her guest room, reasoning that a story is just long enough to entertain but not so long that anyone will overstay their welcome. Since short stories can be read in one sitting, they are easy to share and discuss and provide a great way to discover new authors. We’ll visit the stories in The O’Henry Prize Stories of 2019 edited by Lyn Freed, Elizabeth Strout, and Lara Vapnyar. For some of us, it’s a return to a familiar anthology; for others it will be a fresh experience. Hopefully, you will agree with author George Saunders that, “When you read a short story, you come out a little more aware and a little more in love with the world around you.
