Brevity, Density, Power: Reading Short Stories by Women

Brevity, Density, Power: Reading Short Stories by Women ($169)

In this workshop, we'll read and explore six wildly different stories by women writers including Kate Chopin, Alice Walker and Gish Jen. You will receive both text and an audio file of the story, read by the instructor, before each class. Our conversations will welcome participants’ thoughts, questions, wild ideas and thoughtful challenges as we learn from and with each other, diving into each text and finding connections to our own lives and times.
