Narrative nonfiction--a.k.a. feature writing, or literary journalism--deploys exhaustive reporting and research in a form that draws on the tools and traditions of literature: character, plot, and scene, along with essayistic inquiry and lyric attention to the line. This course, structured as a weekly writing seminar, will provide an editorial and critical scaffolding for students to produce a final work of long-form nonfiction of their own, which will go through a rigorous process of development and revision. Workshopped peer critique of writing in progress will be supplemented by discussions of readings in the craft of nonfiction, the theory of narrative, and classic and contemporary examples of the form, from magazine features to book-length dispatches. |
