59-1306 Critical Reading & Writing: The Novel in Stories

Course examines creative and intellectual processes of writers working in nonlinear structure forms. It raises questions writers ask themselves when determining how best to structure a body of work that is more cohesive than a collection of stories, yet not a linearly shaped novel. Through readings, small group and large group discussions, journal reflections (both students’ and authors’), and research into the authors’ writing processes, students are able to reflect upon and examine issues and questions of structure that go into putting together a cohesive body of creative work.
