Academic Year 2004/2005
Advanced Fiction Workshop
ENGL 168 SP
For people who have already had an introduction to the techniques of fiction, like Fiction Now (English 210, fall 2000), or another course in fiction writing, and want to continue writing short fiction and having their
work
critiqued by other students and by the instructor. Reading will be tailored to the interests of the class. Students will be expected to make copies of their own work and distribute it to the class at least a week in
advance
of its being discussed.
MAJOR READINGS
Collections of short stories and hybrid novels, by authors including Ernest Hemingway, Lorrie Moore, Alice Munro, George Saunders, Milan Kundera, and W.G. Sebald.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Five short stories, revised to perfectionist standards. Perhaps a public reading, at the course's conclusion.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS
English 210, English 142, English 165 or another course in fiction writing at Wesleyan.
Contact instructor by e-mail before the first class, stating name, year, major, and how you fulfilled the requirement.
You may not take this course
and another writing course concurrently, with the exception of a thesis tutorial.
