#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
The delicate balance between a vivid image and what remains hidden is the tension that animates short stories. These writers discuss the complexities of crafting narratives in miniature and the art of satisfying readers while simultaneously leaving them longing for more.
Venue change: please note this event will now take place in Auditorium 2 instead of The Studio.
