Writing the Reading Life
If you’re like many writers, reading is a central and beloved practice—one that might make its way into your writing itself. In this class, we’ll read work by authors who bring books into their accounts of daily living, looking closely at craft choices that weave literary reflection into lively narration. Our reading list includes Lydia Davis, Jia Tolentino, Sara Ahmed, and others. Students will have opportunities to generate and share work in class and a small group workshop.
