I’m the keynote speaker for Short Story Fest, an online celebration of the short story. My speech is titled: “Mystery & Manners: Life Lessons from Reading.” It will discuss how good stories can teach us about human behavior and make us feel more at home in the world. The festival date is Saturday, May 15, and it might be available for viewing afterward, who knows. Short Story Fest is being put on Short Story Book Club, an online community for readers. Here’s my slideshow for that presentation.
