Writing Short Fiction

COL 213
Fall 2013
Section: 01  
Certificates: Writing

In this creative course, students will address the elements of writing fiction, such as narrative types and structures, character, voice, conflict, dialogue, and construction of time. The work of 20th-century novelists such as E.M. Forster, Milan Kundera, Graham Greene, A. S. Byatt, Ralph Ellison, Walker Percy, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Jeffrey Eugenides will serve as models and inspiration. The course will be taught in workshop fashion, with selected students presenting their writing in class each week.

Charles Barber is the author of two works of nonfiction, and a novel-in-progress. He is a lecturer in psychiatry at Yale Medical School, and a Visiting Writer at the College of Letters.
