Notes: Taught by Laleh Khadivi in spring 22-23. In this class we will study short stories, short novels, film and television scripts to understand how the choice of details about weather, landscape, bodies, faces, voices, time, space and feeling determine the literary experience. We will read actively, noting the cause and effect of particular details on the emotional, intellectual and dramatic tone of the story. How come some work has so little detail but feels so real? Conversely, how do some works fill with detail and come off hollow? The works we read are starting points for experimentation in your own work. Class assignments will consist of five short creative responses and a final short story.
