Description
Literary Hors-d’Oeuvres: A Monthly Reading Club for Story LoversLike tasting fine appetizers at a dinner party, each month’s session offers a sampling of short, powerful passages from master storytellers – from both their fiction and non-fiction writing. Participants savor selections from writers such as Tobias Wolff, Isabel Allende, Annie Dillard, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Paul Auster, exploring how small bites of great writing can nourish big ideas.Through guided discussion and optional reflection, we’ll explore one theme per month - memory, identity, love, humor, or transformation - discovering how each story’s flavor lingers long after the last line. Perfect for readers who love conversation, curiosity, and the pleasure of shared discovery.
