Community Stage - Hall 10
In an era where rhythms are accelerating, the short story remains an art form capable of capturing the essence of the moment and condensing the human experience into a limited number of words, yet full of life. The "Short Story Forum" brings together a group of authors and critics to explore the paths of this narrative art, from its classical roots to its modern experiences, from its evolving narrative techniques to its challenges in the digital age.
This session will address key questions: Does the short story still retain its appeal amidst the dominance of the novel? How are authors reshaping this literary genre to keep pace with cultural and social transformations? What role do digital platforms play in redefining our relationship with the short story?
This session will provide a space to dive into the worlds of condensed storytelling, where creativity meets criticism, experimentation meets tradition, revealing a new horizon for this captivating narrative art form.
