An intensive six weeks with lots of reading and writing.
Fiction writers should find it pertinent. The form is
memoir: how to write memoir without writing about yourself.
Students analyze memoirs and learn to write them. The
instructor lectures, encourages, and harangues. Grammar and
punctuation count. Four writing assignments, two narrative
analysis assignments. We meet partly at instructor's house
on campus, Wednesday evenings.
MAJOR READINGS
Readings in memoir.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Assignments every week.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS
Students selected
from all classes, all majors. Instructor looks for interest
in the world outside the self, for clarity, self-control,
and originality. (Correct punctuation helps.) Leave
writing samples with the English Dept. Secretary no later
than NOON ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8. A CLASS LIST WILL BE
POSTED ON DEPARTMENTAL BULLETIN BOARD BY NOON ON WEDNESDAY,
SEPTEMBER 10. Drop/Add registration only.
The chances of a first-year student having learned enough
about literature to get into this class are awfully small.
