REJECTED SHORTS: A VERY SPECIAL "OOPS! ALL ESSAYS" EDITION
Satirical essays, cultural criticism, personal narratives, op-eds, polemics: the essay is one of the most classic forms of literary expression. So let's slander its good name. For this edition of Rejected Shorts, writers and comedians celebrate the essay by sharing their worst and least successful pieces of work. It'll be persuasive, personal, and absolutely hilarious.
Rejected Shorts invites people to share their scorned satire, bad headlines, failed essays, and other art that didn't make the cut. It's cathartic. It's funny. It's for anyone who’s ever heard the response, "thanks, but no thanks".
Hosted by Michelle Cohn.
