Too Close Reading: Flash Fiction, Asceticism and Pleasure
Thursday, November 21
4 - 5:30 PM

This year’s OSU Zacher Lecture in the Humanities will feature Merve Emre, writer for "The New Yorker," "The Atlantic" and more. She’ll discuss “miniaturism,” also known as "flash fiction" or "the short-short story." This emerges as an aesthetic strategy for focusing on the disciplined study of grammar over figuration. In this genre, grammar often is inseparable from gender, and gender is inseparable from forms of literary labor that are regularly trivialized, devalued and rendered invisible. Through the promotion of too close reading, or reading at the smallest scale possible, miniaturism reveals the unappreciated relationship between literary asceticism and literary pleasure. A reception with the artist will follow. This event is free and open to the public, but RSVPs are requested. Follow the link to RSVP.
