“The Electric Chair”: Exploring Memory Through Dystopian Fiction and the Short Story Cycle

In this presentation I will be discussing how dystopian fiction, memory, and the short story cycle are relevant to my work of fiction. Dystopian fiction has been a powerful genre for stories such as “Those Who Walk Away From Omelas” and “The Lottery,” which explore troubling yet plausible worlds. In my work, “The Electric Chair,” I examine memory through the genre of dystopian fiction. I will discuss how I use memoy as a key storytelling mechanic by telling the story backwards through flashbacks. Finally I will explain the short story cycle and why I was inspired to use its form in developing my larger work in which this story will be a part of.
