Telling Tales: An Adult Short Story Program

Join us for this 5-part series of pleasurable, selected short stories for adults. The stories can be located online or you may obtain a copy at the Reference Desk. There will be two stories for the month of October.

The first story is by Nikolai Gogal. "The Overcoat" is a story of a common man who is beneath everyone, but rises in esteem simply with the purchase of an overcoat.

The second story, "The Lady with the Pet Dog" is by Anton Chekhov.  This is the simple story of a philandering married man who finally falls in love with an unhappily married woman with whom he has an affair.
