ENGL 299 |
This course introduces students to the craft of short-story writing. In the first half of the course, we'll read and discuss stories by Joyce Carol Oates, Edward P. Jones, Kazuo Ishiguro, Akhil Sharma, and other successful writers as a means of exploring the conventions (and contentions) of the short-story form. In the second half of the course, students will use their newly filled "writer's toolbox" to plan, draft, and ultimately share their own stories with the rest of the class, while also learning to provide focused, supportive feedback for each other along the way. |
