English CCFT. Intermediate Fiction Workshop

Instructor: Teju Cole
Thursday, 3:00-5:45pm | Location: TBD
Enrollment: Limited to 12 students

This is a course on the writing of literary fiction and is for students who have taken at least one previous writing workshop. Since good writing comes out of good reading, we will be closely reading the work of a wide variety of authors, including Virginia Woolf, W.G. Sebald, Samuel Beckett, Jamaica Kincaid, Lydia Davis, and others. Students can expect to write and workshop two stories of their own over the course of the semester.

Supplemental Application Information: Please submit a cover letter saying what you hope to get out of the workshop. In the cover letter, mention three works of fiction that matter to you and why. In addition, submit a 400–500 word sample of your fiction; the sample can be self-contained or a section of a longer work.
