Course Description:
Daily writing exercises, wide-ranging readings, sharing work aloud as well as on the page: this seminar is for students committed to taking themselves seriously as readers and writers. "Creative nonfiction" uses elements of literary writing--characterization, description, dialogue, experiments with structure--to explore “true” stories and ideas. We’ll examine the intimate relationship between subject and form in creative nonfiction, the role of "the personal," the nature of style and voice, the idea of “truth,”etc. In addition to reading and writing about a diverse range of published authors, students will generate their own creative nonfiction pieces, including a reflective research essay. |
