Instructor, David Allen Cates and group will read stories by masters and discuss the shape and structure of this relatively new literary form. How does it work? What is its subject, its territory, and its history? How does it relate to other forms of storytelling? What does it tell us about what it means to be a human being? What does it tell us about our culture? How does it give us something we need? A deeper understanding of how these little masterpieces work should help students appreciate their beauty and be moved by their elegance. 1.5 hour, 6-week course on Fridays, Jan 10 through Feb 14. In-person and remote options. Cost - $70 (one-time annual MOLLI membership $40). Registration Required.
