ENGL 070X. Experiments in Nonfiction


What are the personal and political stakes of writing from life? This workshop is for students interested in exploring non-fiction beyond conventional memoir. From lyric essays to critical life-writing, from hybrid journalism to conceptual writing, students will read and experiment with new forms as well as discuss each other’s work. Students will focus on contemporary writers like Anne Carson, John D’Agata, Claudia Rankine, and Maggie Nelson, while also hearing from other voices gleaned from antiquity to the present.
