Short Stories and Slim Reads

Books that get in, do the work, and leave a mark. No many many page commitment required here.

This session is for poems, essay collections, short stories, slim memoirs, and the odd novella.

Think Trent Dalton's Love Stories — small, true, devastating. Or go right back to the source with Aesop's Fables, proof you can fit a whole moral universe into three paragraphs and a fox.

A great entry point if you've never finished a novel and feel weirdly guilty about it. Don't.

On the table: fresh and energetic wines, including our latest release Pinot Gris, nothing heavy or overthought.

For a chat: The shortest book that stayed with you the longest?
