Read this-- a short story, mostly dialogue, set in one scene.  Maybe an AHA.  Steve Almond's The Soul Molecule.  Note how spare and how full.  How important the details.... ask why?  Also here:

Also read Nathalie Sarraute's XXII in Art of the Tale. A short short story with no particular scene and no direct dialogue--some mystery, but also enough info to decipher the heart.  This is also perhaps a type of AHA.

Be ready to compare the strategies of the two stories on Thursday-- with info from MSF.

And of course--you will be turning in your assignments.
