Thirty Years of ASF: Challenging Boundaries of Short Fiction
Thursday, March 24, 2022
12:10 pm to 1:25 pm
For thirty years, American Short Fiction has been publishing award-winning fiction by authors who push the boundaries of the traditional short story and help us reimagine the landscape of contemporary fiction. Come celebrate our anniversary with some of our favorite contributors, who will discuss how they interrogate the limits of the short story by breaking form, building worlds, harnessing distinctive voices, and playing by their own rules, pulling the peculiarity of existence into full focus.
