Short Story Book Club: Seasons of Glass and Iron

The Short Story Book Club meets at Parkway Central Library on Monday, November 9, to discuss Seasons of Glass and Iron, the short story collection by Amal El-Mohtar. It's a gathering for adults, and the focus is on a single book rather than a broad list, so you'll spend the evening talking through the collection with other readers.

El-Mohtar is the author of the hour here. Seasons of Glass and Iron is her collection of short stories, and that's what the group will be working through. If you've already read it, you'll have something to bring to the table; if you're just starting it, you'll have a few weeks to get through before the meeting.

The club meets on the second Monday of each month, and every session centers on a different collection of short stories. It's aimed at adults, so the conversations tend to lean toward the adult side of things. If you're into short fiction, it's a steady way to keep reading it throughout the year without having to hunt for a new group every time you finish a book.

The meeting is at 6 PM on Monday, November 9, in Philbrick Hall, Room 131/132 in the Heim Center at Parkway Central Library, 1901 Vine Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103.
