Writing and Reading Fiction
Open—Fall
In class, we will discuss novels and short stories by published authors. In conference, we'll discuss your work. Authors to be discussed include Chekhov, Lawrence, James, Forster, Calvino, Coetzee, Kundera, Baldwin, Philip Roth, Elizabeth Taylor (no—not that Elizabeth Taylor), and Jennifer Egan. Although open to everyone, this class may be best suited for students who have taken at least two prior writing classes.
