Course Title: Great Writers in Small Doses: The Short Story
Instructor: Dr. Lynne Agress
Brought to you by Odyssey
August 30, 2023 - October 04, 2023 (6 Sessions)
Wednesday, 6:30 PM ET
Virtual via Zoom
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Anyone who believes that short stories differ from novels only in length has never read a great short story. During the past 15 years, this course has remained extremely popular, with many of the same outstanding authors, but different stories. In this fall's course, we will enjoy works by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Guy deMaupassant, James Joyce, Katherine Mansfield, D.H. Lawrence, Langston Hughes, Carson McCullers, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Richard Wright and others. Discussions will focus on character, plot, theme, setting, and atmosphere as well as historical/cultural contexts, but, above all, on artistry.
