This course examines the ways in which novelists read, respond to what they read, and incorporate their reading responses dynamically into their own fiction-writing processes. In addition to their own written responses to reading, students work individually and in small groups researching the reading and writing processes behind selected novels (mainstream and alternative), ranging from the beginnings of the form to the present day. Drawing upon authors' journals, notebooks, letters, and more public writings, students explore the writing processes of well-known writers and ways in which students' own responses to reading can nourish and heighten the development of their fiction. The course will survey many of the principal novelists and novels and the development of the genre from its roots to contemporary fiction. Students should be writing fiction, but novel-length material is not required. 4 CREDITS COREQUISITES: 55-1101 FICTION WRITING I OR 55-4101 FICTION WRITING I

This course is a research, writing, and discussion workshop devoted to examining the development of story ideas by selected American Latino writers, including these writers' responses to reading, stages of manuscript development, approaches to rewriting, dealings with editors and publishers, and other aspects of the fiction writer's process. Throughout the course, students read private writings (journals, notebooks, letters) as well as more "public" statements bypublished writers such as Julia Alvarez, Isabel Allende, Junot Diaz, and Rudolfo Anaya, with an eye toward their own reading and writing processes. In particular, students reflect upon the way in which the writer's often very personal response to texts differs from that of the traditional literary critic's approach of focusing on the end product. 4 CREDITS COREQUISITES: 55-1101 FICTION WRITING I OR 55-4101 FICTION WRITING I
