Short stories

VS. Pritchett once defined the short story as, “...something glimpsed from the corner of the eye, in passing”

The short story form aims to capture an important moment in time or a profound realization and to breathe life and significance into it. Our creative writing students have chosen a variety of subjects and methods through which to explore the genre.
