Advanced Creative Writing in Russian
This course offers intensive practice to develop students’ creative writing skills. Students will acquire the proficiency necessary to compose texts of different styles and genres in Russian. We will explore the relationship between reality and the written text and study different types of texts, e.g. personal diary, essay, short storу, literary criticism, etc. We will read short stories by V. Pelevin, T. Tolstaya, and Yu. Buida, as well as essays by A. Genis and P. Vail. During class meetings, students will participate in improvisations and write texts on randomly chosen topics. They will prepare written assignments and produce written works in different genres. (Also counts as a course in literature.)
