In this literary discussion class over Zoom, we continue our ongoing exploration of the treasures in The Oxford Book of English Short Stories and the work of some of the essential and lesser-known England-grown storytellers of the last 100 years. Participants read the stories in advance, then we discuss them within the context of their time, investigating both their “Englishness” and their universal themes. There is no prerequisite.
