“When We are the story”: Lessons from Fiction for the Personal Essay (Registration Closed)

Sundays, October 24 – December 12, 2021

The goal of this course is to move us off our comfortable, discrete little “islands” of literature and to learn about the practice of nonfiction storytelling by examining the features and principles of fiction storytelling.
