[As the Fall
semester of my 13th year at Fitchburg State commences, a series previewing
some of my courses and other plans for the fall. I’d love to hear about your
fall classes and plans in comments!]
I’m gonna keep
this post brief and focused: for my next Adult Learning in the Fitchburg Area
(ALFA) class, we’ll be reading and discussing 9-10 short stories (two per week
for the final four weeks, and either one or two the first week depending on
length as we’ll be reading them together) from the Best
American Short Stories 2016 anthology. That hyperlink includes the
table of contents, and so I’m asking for your help: there are twenty authors
and stories in the anthology, at least twice as many as we’ll have room for in
this class. Of course I have some first thoughts of my own, but I would be even
more interested to hear thoughts of yours. Do you know any of these particular stories?
Do you have strong takes on any of their authors? Please feel free to add your
ideas in comments, or email them
to me if you prefer. Help make this ALFA course as compelling and
meaningful as possible! And look for a recap in this space in December, as
ever!
Last previews
tomorrow,
Ben
PS. Nominations
for this class? Other fall courses or plans you’d highlight?
