WRITING THE NOVELLA In this creative writing course students will work on building and completing their own original novella-length works, while studying numerous examples of the contemporary novella to see what makes it tick. Special attention will be given to novellas that use unconventional approaches to content and structure, including cross-genre and hybrid works that are lyrical, formally experimental, or incorporate graphics. Authors studied will include Anne Carson, Justin Torres, Ottessa Moshfegh, Michael Ondaatje, Sandra Cisneros, Max Porter, Claudia Rankine, and Italo Calvino. Prerequisite(s): ENGL-16100 [AH]
