Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in this Columbia College Chicago Catalog; however, the Catalog is not a contract but rather a guide for the convenience of students. Columbia College Chicago reserves the right to change or withdraw courses; to change the fees, rules, and calendar for admission, registration, instruction, and graduation; and to change any of its policies or other provisions listed in the Catalog at any time.
In this course students will research the writing processes of the most notorious twentieth century writers of Continental Europe-F. Kafka, G. Myerink, C. Capek, J. Hasek, M. Kundera, and others-whose lives and work were inseparable from Prague. In addition to their novels and stories, journals, diaries and other tools of the craft will be used to gain deeper insights into and understanding of how these writers developed dramatic new dimensions of the art of fiction. The advantage of being on sites where writers lived and worked will be used to full extent.
