The genre of short story is an art unto itself. In this course, we’ll take our cue from acclaimed short story collections from authors such as Jhumpa Lahiri and Flannery O’Connor and practice weaving tight and entire short-form narratives. In a typical class, we’ll spend 10-15 minutes examining a text, and use that as a launching point to generate during the remainder of the time.
Texts:
- "Interpreter of Maladies" by Jhumpa Lahiri
- "A Good Man is Hard to Find: And Other Stories" by Flannery O’Connor
- "Pastoralia" by George Saunders
