If you were asked to teach a single story or essay over a ten-day period—had to narrow your choice to just one life-changing text, what would you do? That's the question that faces me today. I've narrowed my thinking to these options:

"I Stand Here Ironing," by Tillie Olsen
"Souvenir," by Jayne Anne Phillips
"Accident and its Scene," by Terrence des Pres
"Memory and Imagination," by Patricia Hampl
