L2L Three Tales: Vonnegut, Chekhov, Fitzgerald

Tales That Explore the Human Condition

This week, Leigh and P. T. examine a handful of stories that might seem disparate but share common threads about “social distancing” and the fundamentals of the human condition:

• “The Big Up Yonder,” an oddly prophetic work by Kurt Vonnegut
• Chekhov’s tale of a gamble in “The Bet”
• A Jazz Age parable by F. Scott Fitzgerald called “The Jelly-Bean”

Join Leigh and P. T. for a discussion of three short stories by these great masters.
