'The Oxford Book of French Short Stories,' Part 2   

Welcome all to the second and final part of “The Oxford Book of French Short Stories” (in English translation). Spanning the centuries from the late 19th through the 20th, the collection features relatively well-known writers such as Annie Saumont, Simone de Beauvoir and Christiane Baroche. The stories take place in locations such as Quebec, Africa and the French Caribbean. Before each session, students will read three or four stories, which will then be discussed in a comfortable, inclusive classroom setting. This is a highly interactive class. Be prepared to speak up and engage in dialogue about all of the stories, so that we can enjoy and learn from the text and one another. We will be covering only the final 13 stories of the text.  
 
NOTE: A copy of “The Oxford Book of French Short Stories,” edited by Elizabeth Fallaize, is required. Both new and used versions are available online, with used versions priced at about $8.
