The Slow Reading Discussion Group will start off the 2024-25 year with a close study of ten stories by the great Canadian master of the form and Nobel Laureate, Alice Munro, who died this past May. Leading the group is Ellen Lambert, who has a Ph.D. from Yale and taught high school English at The Dalton School for over 25 years. For the session on September 9th, please read: “Runaway” — the title story in Munro's collection Runaway (2004); may also be read online in The New Yorker (8/3/2003), where it was originally published. “Soon” — in Runaway and The New Yorker (6/6/2004). This series funded by the White Plains Library Foundation.
