COURSE INFORMATION

How to Read Like a Writer

Do you love to read? Are you an experienced or aspiring writer? Do you want to enliven your book club discussions? This course is for anyone who has a passion for literature. We'll discuss just what it is that makes writing come alive, that pulls us in and won't let us go until the last page. We'll talk about how to read and assess, as a writer would, both fiction and literary non-fiction. 

We'll look at excerpts from novels, memoirs and travelogues from a wide range of notable authors, including Kate Atkinson, David Foster Wallace, Alain de Botton, Raymond Chandler and Charles Dickens.

Please bring to class one page of a work of fiction or creative non-fiction you particularly admire.
