Sounds amazing.
I'm teaching an online class for Politics and Prose called "Elegant Rulebreakers: W. G. Sebald and Rachel Cusk." Want to learn how these wonderful writers break the rules without sacrificing elegance in prose? This is the class for you!

Love this. Short stories paired with their authors personal histories of how they became writers. I’m a big fan of Caroline Adderson, Kathy Page, Kristyn Dunnion. #canlit #amreading #shortstories @biblioasis
