Fiction Workshop: First Person Narrative(s)

Fiction Workshop: First Person Narrative(s) is an Interdisciplinary Arts class taught by Heather Madden.

Course Description
In this workshop, students will study and experiment with techniques and vantage points (first person central, plural, peripheral, etc.) available within first-person narratives. Throughout the semester via weekly readings, imitation-based assignments and regular class discussions, students will consider how tone, setting, detail, character and story can be conveyed. In addition to weekly assignments, class members will submit at least two complete, revised drafts of stories; written responses to peer work; and two analytical papers that focus on the techniques employed within particular reading assignments. This class is an introductory fiction workshop.
