WRIT 197 SC - Special Topics in Writing
Courses under this number will vary from year to year, and will focus on a close analysis of a given genre (the essay, the short story, the poem, the newspaper article, the screenplay, the review) by an established practitioner of the form. May be repeated for credit.
SP19: Our focus will be on investigative fiction: a hybrid form of writing that is at once highly personal and deeply researched. This approach transcends genre, and can be exercised in writing that is otherwise described as the non-fiction, or documentary novel, biography, autobiography or autofiction. We will be writing two original texts during the semester, working under the influence of selected texts by writers such as Janet Flanner, George Orwell, Carlos Monsivais, Colette, Frank Sargeson and Chester Himes.
