Advanced Fiction Workshop: Writing Place-Sinking Deeper into Landscape *
Can place be rendered so richly it becomes a character unto itself? In this course, we'll explore the ways writers deepen a reader's sense of place, and showcase the ways setting can pressurize a narrative and a life. This course will be useful to prose writers of all types, as we explore both non-fiction and fiction - like work by Vladimir Nabokov, Jamaica Kincad, Sarah M. Broom, Daphne du Maurier, and Pitchaya Sudbandthad - in order to observe technique, intention, and impact. Students will read critically and also produce place-based work of their own. This course will be of particular interest to environmentally engaged students looking to process loss and degradation of place in their work. (Formerly ENAM 0370) (CRWR 0170) (This course is not a college writing course) 3 hrs. sem
