This is a small, intensive seminar for students with
workshop experience and a demonstrated ability to write
fiction. Each writer will produce fifty to sixty pages of
new work and will be encouraged to unify that work in some
way -- to create a single sustained narrative, for example,
or a series of linked fictions. Weekly meeting will focus
on structural and thematic analysis of class participants'
work and of other assigned readings. This should be a good
class for those who are nearing graduation and intend to
keep writing afterward.
MAJOR READINGS
Franz Kakfa, Angela Carter, Robert Coover,
William Gass, Milan Kundera, Michael Ondaatje.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Fiction (see above) and
critical responses to various readings.

book written in the twentieth century.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting
