It is a seminar oriented primarily for writers, and much of the criticism read has a practitioner’s focus. Topics include the form of the novella, tone and texture in the contemporary short story and the novel as memoir. Major works by American, European writers are studied, along with representative novels and short stories by non-western and third world writers.
