Course Catalog
Alternate Realities in Short Fiction
All Levels | This class will focus on short stories that slightly shift reality in order to magnify our awareness of social constructs and the human condition. How do we create and write within these alternate realities? In addition to studying examples from George Saunders, Zadie Smith, Kevin Brockmeier, Karen Russell, and Ursula K Le Guin, we’ll also undertake in-class writing exercises that will help us explore the uncanny and the Kafkaesque.
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
