"Reading and Healing" short stories?

[Madelaine Hron]

Dear Friends --

I am teaching a course next term on "Reading and Healing" -- in which
authors turn to reading, literature and the arts in difficult times,
such as sickness, grief, imprisonment, torture... etc. I have some ideas for
longer books such as _One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich_ or _Cancer
Ward_. Would any one have some ideas for short stories -- aside from
Chekhov? Something contemporary or from Eastern Central Europe would be
particularly appreciated.

Thank you,

Madelaine Hron
