AMC Online | Workshop: Read, Talk, Write, Repeat

Reading, discussion, and creative writing workshops by Funky Chekhov’s society, a community of short drama and flash fiction enthusiasts.

Иностранные языки 16+

In this series of online and offline workshops, we look at American short stories, flash fiction, essays and other text genres that reflect main themes of modern life. We have readings and discussions and try our hands at simple creative writing exercises together.

Our main sources of inspiration and material are The New Yorker and Paris Review magazines. Every session has a required reading – a short story – published in one of these publications. Both magazines are available for free at the American Center’s eBook Library. To get your free membership now and to find out more about the library, go to this page.

Upper-level English is expected from participants. Bring a pen, a notebook, and your enthusiasm.

Required reading for May 19 workshop: Separation, a story by Clare Sestanovich. Read it in the April 12, 2021 issue of The New Yorker, pages 52-55.

We remind you that you can borrow and read this magazine issue for free at the American Center’s eBook Library.
