This course encourages development of lively, well-crafted short fiction by examining the reading and writing processes behind some of the best examples of the form. Working individually and in small groups, students select from a wide range of writers, representing many different voices, backgrounds, subjects, and approaches, to research the ways in which writers read, respond to their reading, and use that reading to generate and heighten their short stories. Students write their own responses to reading and discuss the relationship of reading to development of their own fiction.
