Piccolo Fiction in the Courtyard
Sat., May 31 from 5 to 7 pm
Blue Bicycle Books, 420 King St.
Admission: Free; Coordinator: Jonathan Sanchez
The festival’s longest-running event exclusively devoted to the craft of fiction, Piccolo Fiction invites three prominent writers to present 5 minute “short short” stories. The reading will be held in the lush courtyard of Blue Bicycle Books, and each story will begin with the words “I ducked into the alley…”
Since 2000, Piccolo Fiction has featured dozens of S.C. writers, with stories broadcast by S.C. Public Radio’s ‘Your Day’, and published in the Charleston City Paper.
