This year the EP Reads planning committee offers the opportunity for the community to experience a different literary genre from our past selections, the short story. In recognition of the program’s ten years, ten short stories from Revised and Updated 2nd Edition of The Scribner Anthology of Contemporary Short Fiction have been chosen which will allow readers to explore this unique form of literature.
The short stories selected from the anthology are:
Silver Water by Amy Bloom
The Caretaker by Anthony Doerr
Tiny, Smiling Daddy by Mary Gaitskill
Marie by Edward P. Jones
Wickedness by Ron Hansen
Orientation by Daniel Orozco
A Temporary Matter by Jhumpa Lahiri
The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien
Two Kinds by Amy Tan
The Rest of Her Life by Steve Yarbrough
