MONDAY, June 19th at 7pm slt: JUNE SHORTS Continues ~ It's Two! Two!

Tonight Finn Zeddmore presents two stories by two different authors.

Nathaniel Hawthorne was an American novelist and short story writer. His works often focus on history, morality, and religion. Much of Hawthorne's writing centers on New England, many works featuring moral metaphors with an anti-Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, dark romanticism.

Tonight, something a little different: The Snow Image: A Childish Miracle
Two children, Violet and Peony, construct a girl out of snow. This snow-image comes to life, however, their parents think she is a human girl and bring her inside where she promptly melts.

H.H. Munro, better known by the pen name “Saki”, was a British writer whose witty, mischievous and sometimes macabre stories satirize Edwardian society and culture. He is considered by English teachers and scholars a master of the short story and is often compared to O. Henry and Dorothy Parker. Influenced by Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll and Rudyard Kipling, he himself influenced A. A. Milne, Noël Coward and P. G. Wodehouse.

SUNDAY, May 19th at 1:30pm: TEA TIME on The Lighter Side

You know, it's Spring.  And we are feeling the need for a break from Murder, Mayhem, and Death. So today we take a brief departure from the world of mysteries and detectives to relish an hour with a favorite: H.H. Munro, better known as "Saki" - one of the masters of the late 19th, early 20th C short story.

Munro (1870-1916) was a British writer whose witty, mischievous and sometimes macabre stories satirize Edwardian society and culture. He is often compared to O. Henry and Dorothy Parker. Influenced by Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll and Rudyard Kipling, he himself influenced A. A. Milne, Noël Coward and P. G. Wodehouse.

THURSDAY January 26th at 7pm: An Evening with Hemingway, Tolstoi, and Saki

A squeezing of a slice of life into the narrowest of compasses

AN EVENING WITH
Hemingway, Tolstoi, and Saki

The desire to tell stories and to listen to them is one of the qualities inherent in all human nature, and the storyteller’s art is perhaps the oldest of all the arts in the world, and the best-loved. The short story is just the right length in a world of tumult and hurry… The essential quality of the short story is its economy. …here everything must show intensity of concentration, a squeezing of a slice of life into the narrowest of compasses… These stories, diverse as they are, share one thing in common: they all belong to a different time, and that is exactly what constitutes a classic—something recognizably dated, yet still works even after all those years. Tonight: 'The Killers' by Ernest Hemingway 'God Sees The Truth, But Waits' by Leo Tolstoi 'Tobermory' by Saki (H.H. Munro)
