CW 450 - The Use of Style in Writing Fiction


Prerequisites: CW 350  or CW 360  and a 200 or 300 level Writing Course
Fulfills a course requirement in the Creative Writing Core Concentration
The use of style can be as essential to conveying a story’s meaning as the individual narrative components. In this course, students will read works by authors such as, Michael Cunningham, Philip Roth, Colson Whitehead, Paul Auster, Milan Kundera, and E. Annie Proulx to see how stylized writing becomes part of the meaning of the work. Students will also present their own works in a workshop format, applying the analytical discussion of the assigned readings to their own writing and revision process. Creative expectations are no more than three short stories that fully reflect the focused study of the course.
