A crash course in close reading, a crucially useful skill when it comes to either making sense of the world or improving as a writer. A consideration of the implications of the conscious and intuitive decisions we make when constructing prose, centered around two in-class exercises and a discussion of Elizabeth Tallent’s “No One’s a Mystery.”
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online-either through Zoom or through Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform-through Spring quarter 2021.
