Time: 7:30pm

Location: Woods Hole Public Library, 581 Woods Hole Road

The Woods Hole Public Library’s new Short Story Discussion group will continue on Wednesday, February 24, at 7:30 PM. The conversation is led by librarian Kellie Porter, who holds a Master’s degree in literature.

This month’s selections are two stories  by Andrea Barrett, from her story collection Ship Fever. The stories are "The Behavior of the Hawkweeds" and "Birds with No Feet." In "The Behavior of the Hawkweeds," the story of growing alienation between a professor and his wife is set against a backdrop of the story of Gregor Mendel and his growing disillusionment with science. "Birds with No Feet" tells the story of a young naturalist working in the Malay Archipelago at the same time as Alfred Russell Wallace, who developed a theory of evolution by natural selection contemporaneously with Darwin. Both of these stories deal with real historical  science, the people doing science, and the way it affects their lives.

Ship Fever won the National Book Award in 1996.

Interested individuals should call the Library at 508-548-8961 to register and stop by to pick up copies of the stories at the circulation desk.
