Prose Forms
|
|
|
The making of a work of prose requires expertise with the structure of the chosen form, and an understanding of the relationship of form to content. This class teaches the techniques for planning and drafting major prose forms which could include the very-short story, the story, novella, novel, linked-story collection, episodic novel, essay novel, the play, the creative nonfiction book, and others. Students will learn how to create particular prose forms and how to use content as a guide to inventing new forms. We will examine some of the best examples of both traditional and newly invented forms by writers such as Anton Chekhov, Katherine Anne Porter, Tim O'Brien, and Sandra Cisneros. Prerequisite: ENGLISH 312. Offered: Each year.
