Reading Workshop - The Reverse Bug by Lore Segal

NOTE: For November we will be meeting at the Citizen's Trust. Not at the Double Tree like we usually do.

The Reading Workshop is where we look at great works of short fiction from a writer's perspective. We try to figure out just what makes a story great and how we can apply it to our own work. This month we'll be reading "The Reverse Bug" by Lore Segal. This story can be found by searching online. You can also listen to Jennifer Egan read it here:

Some questions to mull over before the meet up:

1. What is the engine that drives this story?
2. Was there a technique, character, perspective, etc. that you found particularly compelling?
3. What were some of the story's most delicious details?
4. What are you going to take from this story and apply to your own work?

That's it for our questions. Feel free to bring your own!
