THE ART OF THE SHORT STORY: Human Stories, Human Truths, Human Connections

Registration not required
Meets in the 1st floor Meeting room

Perfect for busy schedules, each story will be a complete, thought-provoking experience. We’ll read aloud and discuss short stories (15- 20 minutes each). Listen, read, or discuss – make it your own! Bond with neighbors, from high-schoolers and USC Aiken students to retirees, in an inclusive setting while discussing short stories.

The March stories are:

Woman Hollering Creek by Sandra Cisneros  First published in Januyary 1869 in the magazine Overland Monthly, this is an example of naturalism and the local color of California during the first half of the nineteenth century.
