Some of the most dazzling and moving narrative prose these days is coming from the world of journalism. In this class we'll explore the art and craft of narrative non-fiction, incorporating interviewing and research techniques. We will read the work of writers like Susan Orlean, Ted Conover, Truman Capote, David Foster Wallace and Sarah Hepola, and discuss the practices that make their work come alive. Students will do weekly craft assignments and three longer works which we will discuss in a workshop setting. Bring a curious mind and a desire to work hard.
