Please join us for a discussion of "Brownies," a short story by ZZ Packer.
First published in Harper's in 1999, ZZ Packer's "Brownies" was included in The Best American Short Stories 2000. The story takes place at Camp Crescendo and follows an all-Black Brownie troop's encounter with an all-white troop.
Copies of the story are available on a first-come basis at the Information Desk. Remote attendance is possible; please register in order to have a meeting link sent to you. If you plan to attend in person, there is no need to register.
