[With this
week’s final papers and exams comes the end of another semester at Fitchburg
State University, and with it a series of semester recap posts, this time
focused on inspiring student work and ideas! Please share your own semester
reflections in comments, and/or your spring plans and goals leading up to a
predictive weekend post!]
When I previewed
my Adult Learning course on contemporary short fiction, I didn’t yet know
which five authors and texts we’d read. I’m very happy with the ones I picked
and the amazing conversations that resulted, and so wanted to share the five
stories and authors with you as well. They are:
1)
Karl
Taro Greenfeld, “Horned Men” (2012)
2)
Chimamanda Ngozi
Adichie, “Apollo” (2015)
3)
Phil Klay, “Redeployment”
(2014)
4)
Cristina
Henríquez, “Goodbyes” (2011)
I’d love to hear
your thoughts on any and all of these great stories in comments! Spring preview
post this weekend,
Ben
PS. What do you
think? Other reflections or predictions you’d share?
