Co-presented with American Bookbinders Museum

A notoriously precise and difficult form, the short story occupies an odd place in arts & letters in 2026. 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 purveyors of the craft Rucy Cui, Cristina Fríes, and William Lohier 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.
