Next week, American Short Fiction will host the second installment of My Constellation of 8, a virtual events series featuring authors in conversation about the books that shaped their thinking and helped them grow as writers, as thinkers, and as people.
On September 15th, we will join award-winning writer Esmé Weijun Wang in conversation about eight of her literary influences with ASF‘s Coeditor Adeena Reitberger and will benefit Green Apple Books, a trio of fiercely independent bookstores in San Francisco matching good books to curious readers since 1967.
