CRWR 243 - Creative Non-Fiction Writing


Semester Hours: 3
Periodically
A graduate-level course in the writing of memoir, personal essay and belletristic prose involving researched topics.

They also study formal questions such as the construction of the I-character, the insinuation of perspective toward one’s younger self, structural and tonal strategies in organizing memory, and the uses and abuses of confessionalsim.

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
May be repeated for credit when topics vary. (Formerly Creative Non-Fiction Writing Workshop.)
