CRWR 193 - Memoir WritingSemester Hours: 3
Everybody has a story, but how to elevate the personal to the literary? Memoir is a strange animal, living somewhere between fiction and autobiography; in this workshop-based creative writing class, students learn strategies to mine their own life experiences while utilizing the novelist’s toolbox to bring their stories to life. Variations of a personal essay, including memoirs, lyrics, and the reported, will be discussed; readings may include work by writers such as Sei Shonagon, Virginia Woolf, James Baldwin, Joan Didion, Kiese Laymon, Zadie Smith, David Sedaris, Cathy Park Hong, Elissa Washuta, and more.
