Storytelling in Calvino’s “Next” Millennium
Reflecting on "the future of literature" in 1985, the great speculative writer Italo Calvino noted that "there are things only literature can give us, by means specific to it." In this course, we’ll read Calvino’s essay collection Six Memos for the Next Millennium and write our own pieces in response (or in productive resistance) to his ideas about literature's key qualities. Students may use the course to generate a new story or to work on a story already in progress.
