ENGL 070F. Fantastic Genres Workshop

This course will both explore readings in the genres of fantasy, science fiction, and horror, and offer participants the opportunity to write in this territory. Selected readings in the course will, it’s hoped, broadly represent the vastly multifaceted body of literatures that collectively make up literature of the fantastic, including “extragenre” or slipstream fictions. No brief collective of novels can hope to represent the breadth of the genres; so we’ll work with a few landmark books supplemented with a lot of short fiction to give participants examples of what they might do with the fiction they compose in the latter half of the semester.
