Reader’s Circle: Short Stories from Around the World with Susan Patterson
Wednesdays, 10:30 – 11:30 AM
The Oscar at Georgetown, 3rd Floor Meeting Room
In Person Only
Last winter, we began exploring the short story with a focus on American masters. This term, we’ll turn to writers from around the world—including the Russians, Kafka, Joyce, de Maupassant, and more. Each week, you’ll receive a reading assignment (typically three stories, 40–70 pages) as PDFs or online links. Come to class ready to share your experiences and insights—there are no right or wrong answers, just lively discussion. Join the Reader’s Circle!
