This Month’s Reading

Ursula K. Le Guin, “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” (1973)

What this is:
This is a ticketed, curated literary and community event, presented by Bhumika Anand from the Bangalore Writers Workshop, where we will do a deep-dive analysis and discussion of a short story.
You get to join a reading community where you will get to read a pre-chosen short story a month. 
You get to examine the story in terms of its literary merit, yes, but also in terms of writing craft and context, which will be very useful if you are an aspiring storyteller or writer. 

This event will take place on the last Saturday of every month, starting July 2023

Who should join:
If you are above 18 years old, interested in storytelling, literature, or are an aspiring or published author, this is for you. 
If you are new in the city and want to be part of a community and make friends over writing, storytelling, and literature, then this is for you. 

What does it entail:
Reading the prescribed story that will be shared on the 10th of every month when you register. 
Participating in the curated discussion.
Following community guidelines. 
 

Community Guidelines:
Be open, be civil, be courteous, be kind, and have fun.
Listen more. Speak mindfully. 
No monopolising the conversation.
