Reading and Writing Memoir
ENGL 214Z
Winter 2021
Section: 01  

In this intensive Winter Session class, we will read a variety of short and long works from the beloved, bewitching nonfiction genre of memoir, paying close attention to how the authors parse the past--and which parts they parse--to convert memories into lyrical works of literature that are at once personal and universal. We will also write our own examples of memoir, which will be the course's primary assignments. Students will have short writing exercises every day in class, so the course will offer a writing immersion experience.

Please note: Students should expect some readings and assignments to be due during winter break, prior to beginning Winter Session. Please visit the Winter Session website for the full syllabus: http://www.wesleyan.edu/wintersession.
