WRI 446 - Reading and Writing:American Beauty

Institution:

Naropa University

Subject:

Description:

This workshop is for those who want to write better. The student's prose is the focus for half of each workshop. To improve awareness and provide subject matter, we examine social class in American fiction. Drawing on such authors as Lorrie Moore, Charles Bukowski, Grace Paley, Richard Brautigan, Ray Carver, Jhumpa Lahiri, A.M. Homes and others, the course demonstrates how race, gender and age impact the writer, his/her works and class. The American social lie of a classless society undergoes loving scrutiny and high hilarity. Open to W&L students, other by permission of the department.
