Join in exploring the short story as we delve into
The Best American Short Stories of the Century,
selected by John Updike. This session, we will concentrate on stories from the last part of the century (1970-2000) by both well-known and less-remembered writers. We will read the stories in advance, then discuss them within the context of their time, investigating American themes such as immigration, race, social progress, and individuality. There is no prerequisite.
