55-4216 CRW: Short Story Writers

Course encourages development of lively, well-crafted, short fiction by examining reading and writing processes that guide some of the best examples of the form. Students select from a wide range of writers, representing many different voices, backgrounds, subjects, and approaches, to research ways in which writers read, respond to their reading, and use that reading to generate and heighten their short stories. Students write their responses to reading short stories and discuss the relationship of reading to the development of their own fiction.
