In this episode, we discuss “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant. (French version here.)  What can we learn from this exemplar story? How can we fit characters to their stories? How can the shape of dialogue on the page help us guide the flow of the story? What did de Maupassant learn from Flaubert, and how has he guided the style of short fiction since? How does the ending of the story work? Where does the emotion come from?
