In this episode, we read “Lady Tigers” by Nick White.  We discuss what we can learn about the all-too-familiar writer’s advice to “show, don’t tell” and how this story helps us understand that advice.  When should we show and not tell? Also, how can we structure the deployment of background information that is necessary for the reader?  How can that structure lend the story emotional resonances?  How can we make a story be about itself and explore character?
