Short stories are the delectable morsels of the literary world, able to capture potent parts of the human experience in pages.

In this panel discussion, three short story writers share their craft. Multi-award-winning writer Tony Birch’s latest Pictures of You collects his short fiction from the past two decades, while The Fireflies of Autumn: And Other Tales of San Ginese by Moreno Giovannoni spans the 20th century in a Tuscan town. Tony Tulathimutte’s international bestseller Rejection is an obsessive and ambitious collection for the contemporary internet age.

Discuss the often-overlooked form with Tony, Moreno and Tony. With host Carody Culver.
