DESCRIPTION:

Explore fascinating stories with participation-friendly discussions. If you love great literature, you will appreciate the artistry that goes into the creation of the short prose found in The Best American Short Stories 2012, edited by Tom Perrotta. Each week, the class examines one or two memorable stories, teasing out the meanings of each story and building a greater understanding of the short story as an art form. Because the short stories are written by contemporary authors, their subject matter and dilemmas cannot fail to stir great questions and evoke new insights about the world in which we live.
