Join author, editor, and educator Sherrie Flick to learn about her new flash fiction collection, I Have Not Considered Consequences, evocative and thought-provoking stories that delve into the complexities of grief, desire, and a peculiar intersection between humans and bears. Sherrie will be in conversation with Jim Phelan, a distinguished professor in English at Ohio State University and a worldwide leader in the field of narrative theory. This is a free event. One can pre-order Flick’s story collection while registering, or at the event. OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY’S DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH is Gramercy’s Community Partner for this program. Sherrie Flick’s evocative and thought-provoking stories follow characters like Bobby, a local home inspector who zips into a bear suit on his daily rounds, and a Gen-X couple, Matty and Trudy, navigating the ups and downs of their adult lives, from a dead fish named Patti Smith to dashed dreams of indie rock stardom. In Flick's world, bears don't just roam the wild—they play basketball, dance, and even work as midlevel business professionals, while the humans around them ponder love, allegiance and what to make of Edith Wharton. Through this memorable cast of characters, Flick reveals intriguing secrets about humanity and yearning with her signature blend of stark honesty and humor.
