Short Story Club is the perfect place for you to learn more about American culture through its literature, keep your reading list updated, and improve your English at the same time. Talk about multitasking, right?
In each session we will discuss a different short story by an American writer, as well as its meaning and the language used in the text.
On February 15th we will discuss "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker.
Alice Walker is an African American novelist, short story writer, poet, and activist. Walker’s novel The Color Purple won the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. In this short story from Love & Trouble: Stories of Black Women, a daughter comes home to visit her mother and sister with a new understanding of her identity.
You are welcome to read the story here. Text provided by CommonLit.
