SHORT STORIES FROM ACROSS THE WORLD
We shall read a loosely assembled collection of short stories, grouped together
by nationality of authors, since it is my belief that the cultural background of a writer frequently informs his/her choice and treatment of the subject matter.
We shall discuss 2 short stories per session, and our meetings will take place on ZOOM,
Every 2nd and 4th THURSDAY of a month, at 10 am.
Anyone interested in joining us should send me an email to that effect. Our first meeting of this course will take place on THURSDAY, 11th of JANUARY, 2024.
