Short Story Social Club: Margaret Atwood

The Short Story Social Club’s Margaret Atwood series meets for a read-aloud and discussion of one randomly selected short story each month. From September through December 2026, the group will draw stories from Margaret Atwood’s *Old Babes in the Wood*. Attendees do not need to read in advance, and copies of the book will be available during the discussion. Portable craft projects are welcome while the group listens and chats.

The November meeting is shifted from the club’s usual second-Wednesday schedule because of the holiday. It takes place at the Central Library in Copley Square.
