SUMMARY:Jason Who Will be Famous\, by Dorothy Allison AND The Secret Life o
 f Walter Mitty\, by James Thurber
DESCRIPTION:Join us virtually on Monday\, July 27th at 7pm EST to discuss t
 he short story "Jason Who Will Be Famous"\, which follows Jason's inner na
 rration of a fantasy in which he (like the title suggests) finally becomes
  famous. We'll compare Dorothy Allison's 2008 story with James Thurber's "
 The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" (1939)\, a story about a man who continua
 lly fades in and out of reality as he imagines himself as a famous militar
 y officer\, then a surgeon\, then a gun slinger... If you're in the mood t
 o laugh\, and if you've ever dreamed of something miraculous happening and
  changing your life for good\, then this story is for you! We'll consider:
  when do our fantasies inspire us\, and when do they prevent us from takin
 g action? How do these authors portray these (very similar) characters dif
 ferently?\n\nJason Who Will Be Famous: New stories from the South : the ye
