TECHNIQUES OF FICTION

Catalog description

Provides students with a working knowledge of the techniques of fiction and the movements of culture that evolved the various styles of literature (e.g. modernist, postmodernist, surrealist, and fabulist, amongst others). Students will learn terminology in order to engage in critical analysis of short stories. They will also emulate successful techniques employed by established contemporary authors in their own writing through directed exercises, flash fictions, and the work-shopping of a longer original piece. Pre-requisite: ENGL-102 or ENGL-109 .
