About this Event

Literature Taster Class!

A free taster class on Shirley Jackson's infamous 1948 story, The Lottery!

When Shirley Jackson's short story, The Lottery was first published in the New Yorker in 1948, the magazine was inundated with letters, many of them hostile. Readers demanded an explanation. Why had this story been published? What did it mean? How could the author write such a story — especially a female author?!?

Yes, Jackson’s seemingly simple story spoke to the very complex issues of power, violence, and “civil” society, that lurk beneath the surface of our everyday lives.

Seventy years on, and the story still has the power to disturb us - what better way to start a new group!
