August Short Story Club

Hi everyone!

Those of you who were at the Short Story Club this month already know that we're doing Ernest Hemingway's "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" for the August Short Story Club. This story is a little longer than the ones we normally do (around 15 pages), so be sure to give yourself some extra time to read.

Some people had problems printing from the link I provided last time, so I'm providing two links here. The first is to a PDF file provided by Duke University, and the the second is a link to a website with the story. I hope you enjoy the story and that I'll see you at our next Short Story Club!

Hi Everyone!

This month's short story is by one of the most famous short story writers of all time: Anton Chekhov. The story is called "A Slander", and it's about a rumor that damages a prominent person's reputation. I hope that you'll enjoy reading and that I'll see you all on Tuesday!

The link to the story is here.
