Short Story Club is like a book club, but for short stories!

RSVP to receive a link to great stories you can read in a single sitting and join a live discussion with the author on Zoom.

For this, we'll discuss the story "Reborn" from his latest story collection "The Hidden Girl and Other Stories."

Story summary:

A human law enforcer on an alien-colonized Earth tracks down insurgents, offering humans who have committed crimes the chance to be “reborn” by erasing memories of their actions. But what has he forgotten since he was reborn? Are you what you do, or are you what you remember?
