Six O'Clock Symposium SeriesMeagan Cass Reads from ActivAmerica, her award-winning collection of stories.
Drawing from fairy tales, ghost stories, and science fiction, the stories in ActivAmerica explore how we confront (and exert) power and reimagine ourselves through sports and athletic activities. A group of girls starts an illicit hockey league in a conservative suburb. A recently separated woman must run a mile a day in order to maintain her new corporate health insurance. Sports allow characters to form communities on soccer fields and hidden lakes, in overgrown backyards and across Ping-Pong tables. Throughout the collection, however, athletic risk also comes with unexpected, often unsettling results. Winner of the 2017 Katherine Anne Porter Prize in Short Fiction, the stories in ActivAmerica "dazzle with their oddball sensibility and quick wit, announcing Meagan Cass as a writer to watch," according to contest judge Claire Vaye Watkins. Time: Tuesday, November 28th, 2017 6:00pm Cost: Free, please RSVP |
