Wake up with a FLASH! And LAUGHS!

Sunday, May 7 | 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

SF Chronicle Stage in the Park

  • Outdoor

Jane Ciabattari, Grant Faulkner

(NOTE: We regret that Eboni K. Williams had to cancel her appearance originally scheduled for this time slot. Pegasus Books will still have Eboni’s book available for sale at their booth.)

Here’s a great way to start your day! Enjoy a story for as long as it takes to finish your cup of morning coffee. What’s flash fiction? The quintessential example comes from Hemingway: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” There’s a whole story within those six words. We can’t promise that the stories performed on the Chronicle Stage will be quite that short, but we do know they’ll span the spectrum from pathos to laugh-out-loud funny, from inspiration to provocation, in just a few minutes. Our host, Jane Ciabattari, has a long list of literary honors, but we need to keep it short, right? She co-founded the Flash Fiction Collective, a San Francisco reading series.

Jane Ciabattari, Jenny Bitner, Heather Bourbeau, Jill Bronfman, Mark Ciabattari , Thaisa Frank, Molly Giles, Thomas Hobohm, Elizabeth Stix, Olga Zilberbourg, and other Bay Area maestros of flash fiction
