*Enrollment: Limited to 12 students*

 This class is open to anyone who can write a letter, not an e-mail, a letter, just a plain simple letter, to someone who lives far away from you and who has no idea really of who you are, except that you are, like them, another human being. I have not quite yet settled on the books we will read, that usually happens when I get a sense of what the assembled personalities suggest. Usually, I suggest films, but I have lately become enamored of Korean soap operas and detective dramas: the food looks delicious, people wear the most interesting clothes and are obsessed with handbags, and small things, such as a piece of crumpled up paper lying in a corner is given serious consideration. A real delight. So, give all of the above serious consideration before you decide to register for this class.

 **Supplemental Application Information:**

 A brief autobiographical note, to give me some sense of who you are and what your are interested in now, will be appreciated. Many thanks.

 No writing sample. No previous work-shopped writing will be a part of the class.
