Short Story Writers

The following Blog is an example of how a group might set up a blog. The four authors we will read are Andre Dubus, Flannery O'Connor, T.C. Boyle, and Raymond Carver. Each group (made up of 6 students)will ultimately read work from all of the authors; however, each group will be choosing to read, discuss, respond, and post on each of the writers and their selected stories one author at a time. I have posted a wikipidea link on each author as a basic intro. Further posts will give more detail on each of the authors, stories, themes that we will look for, as well as other directions.
