This course is designed for students who wish to explore writing nonfiction articles and essays, perhaps for the first time. Exploring a wide variety of forms and voices, students analyze the elements of strong nonfiction writing and write two pieces of nonfiction that are workshopped by their peers. We also read exemplary work by a wide range of writers, including James Baldwin, Clarice Lispector, Richard Ford, Toni Morrison, Rebecca Solnit, and Amy Tan.
