3.00 Credits
(3 Credits) Literary journalism is a genre that combines the elements of traditional journalism with the narrative structure of fiction. It does not follow a prescribed form. The individual writer develops a style and approach out of his or her own sensibility and experience of the event being covered. This course will explore a wide range of literary journalism texts and analyze the writers and their approaches to their work. Students will be expected to read a number of books and view several films that are the film equivalent of literary journalism. While the tradition of literary journalism extends well into the past, and includes writers such as Charles Dickens, Stephen Crane, and Walt Whitman, this course will primarily consider works that have been published since 1960. We'll consider these works from several angles: their narrative structure, narrative voice, reporting methods, literary and cultural milieu, reader's assumptions, and the writer's lives. (Prerequisite: ENG120)
