ENGL 194 SC - Fiction Workshop - Time form Experiment

In this fiction workshop, students will explore the ways short stories experiment with time and form. The first half of the course will look closely at how and why short stories use flashback, compression, and other techniques to move non-linearly through time. Students will try outthese techniques in their own writing ?first through short exercises, then in a non-linear short story, which they’ll workshop with the class and revise. The second half of the semester will explore additional ways contemporary short stories experiment with form, including using lists, fairy and folk tales, quizzes, and other ?found? forms. And for their second short story, students will try out an experimental form of their own invention. Formerly ENGL194S SC. Course does not satisfy Letters general education requirement.
