About this Event

Co-presented with Clio’s


A notoriously precise and difficult form, the short story occupies an odd place in arts & letters in 2025—left mostly by the wayside by the publishing industry at large, the story still holds a prominent place in our biggest magazines and workshop culture. Local O. Henry/Best American/Flannery O'Connor award winners Zach Williams, Ehsaneh Sadr, and Suzanne Wang read from their celebrated work and discuss the form's place in today's publishing/reading culture. Moderated by Litquake Artistic Director Graham Todd. Doors at 7:00pm. FREE, $10-15 suggested donation
