Between imagining the varieties of life’s circumstances, embodying the perspectives of numerous people, and capturing the distinctly human emotions amidst it all, join Ed Park (An Oral History of Atlantis: Stories), Lynne Tillman (Thrilled to Death: Selected Stories), and Jared Lemus (Guatemalan Rhapsody: Stories) as they delve into what writing short stories means to them. From jealousy of blooming friendships between their partner and a FedEx courier, attending parties in the suits of dead fathers, and getting caught up with an American film crew, these new collections provide snapshots of a life both ordinary and unexpected. Moderated by Sabir Sultan, director, World Voices Festival.
