Writing and Speech
From James Joyce's Dubliners to Jhumpa Lahiri's Unaccustomed Earth, writers have gathered their short fiction into collections united by setting, theme, voice and even, in the case of Lorrie Moore's Self-Help, an obscure point-of-view strategy. This course is for students who have written at least one short story or novella and want to write more, with the goal of combining them into a book ready for submission to agents and editors. Topics covered include the short story as a unique fictional form and strategies for lending coherence to disparate narratives. Models of the form are examined.
