Each week we will discuss two of the short stories in the The Best Short Stories 2021: The O.Henry Prize Winners, edited by acclaimed author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The stories come from around the world, and were chosen by Adichie for their being both timeless and also of the moment, their care with language, and their being profoundly wise.

Format: All participants will lead the discussion of a story of their choice. Active class participation is expected. Class members are advised to sign up for their story as early as possible, as stories will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. The discussion leaders for each class will be expected to develop a list of questions to guide the discussion.

Resources/Expenses: The Best Short Stories 2021: The O.Henry Prize Winners is available at local bookstores for $17.00 and from Alibris Books for $11.99 plus $4.49 shipping.
