Advanced Creative Writing: Creative Nonfiction
|
|
|
This course is devoted to the study and crafting of the personal essay. Students will explore - and - practice many different varieties of this diverse form. Whether in the guise of aesthetic appreciation, cultural critique, personal history, political reportage, or travelogue, our course readings are first and foremost PERSONAL narratives, both troubled and enriched by their subjectivity (the essay's ' I '). Students will study the many challenges particular to this form (most of which concern notions of truth, and its rendering) and strive to overcome them as they create vivid personal narratives of their own.
