Friday, March 28, 7pm: Every Thing Goes Book Cafe, 208 Bay St, SINY 10301

A community gathering to celebrate the short story, comparing a marvelous story by Alice Munro – “master of the contemporary short story” and recent winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, together with a short story by Island writer Avi Gvili, Staten Island teacher and author of Life & Love & the Like: Stories from the Everyday.

The two short stories examine how men & women communicate (or not), what they seek from one another, and what they may find.

This event is the first in an occasional Staten Island OutLOUD series on the short story, contrasting global classics with works by emerging writers.
