Time: 10am

** We are no longer accepting online reservations for this program. **

To make a reservation, please email Sharon Padua, Director of Major and Planned Gifts, at sharonpadua@lfla.org with 1) your name, 2) email address and 3) telephone number.

Variously labeled Sudden Fiction, Flash Fiction, and Short-Shorts, a new and very brief form of the traditional short story has arisen on the American literary scene. Join Bernard Cooper, award-winning author and memoirist, to examine several examples of Sudden Fiction by some of our most important and exciting contemporary writers. What is the difference between an anecdote and a story?  Why and how does brevity create a strong impact?  Explore both the craft and theory of the art of fiction through brief texts read in class.

 

This is a free program that will be held at the Woodland Hills Library. Space is limited, so please respond early. For more information, please contact Sharon Padua, Director of Major and Planned Gifts, at sharonpadua@lfla.org or 213.292.6268.
