Event Description

The BWW Short Fiction Community at Atta Galatta will discuss

The Readers (Short story attached)

By Ben Lerner

Quietly cerebral and emotionally precise, The Readers follows moments of modern distance, memory, and fragile human connection against the backdrop of a sudden digital silence. Through intimate reflections and finely detailed observations after an unexpected accident cuts the narrator off from technology, the story explores themes of isolation, the instability of recollection, and the subtle ways people attempt to understand one another while carrying their own private worlds. Ben Lerner’s restrained yet evocative prose captures the ache of communication and the beauty hidden within ordinary, low-tech moments.
