What is so irresistible about summer? Why do these three months hold such sway over our collective imaginations? During this engaging two-hour class, we will delve into stories by John Cheever, Sarah E. Ruhlen, and Karen Russell. Together, we will explore how these themes and questions manifest themselves in the fiction we consume. So, however you are enjoying your summer, we invite you to revel in the season with a discussion of three stories celebrating the magic of those lazy-hazy-crazy days of summer.
