DELVE FOR WRITERS:Coetzee and Han: Point of View
$240
In this Delve for writers, we’ll consider two provocative books, both written outside the U.S., J.M. Coetzee’s The Lives of Animals (republished within his novel Elizabeth Costello) and Han Kang’s The Vegetarian, translated by Deborah Smith. Both books consider the ethics of eating animals and the central place of violence in the everyday. Both also approach their protagonists—the scholar Elizabeth Costello and the vegetarian Yeong-hye—from points of view that are as revealing of the fictions’ central consciousnesses and dominant cultures as they are their central characters and the stances they take within their social environments. With a focus on point of view in fiction and, for nonfiction writers, narrative distance and the divided self, this six-week Delve will ask writers to learn all they can from these two provocative fictions, create complex and divided narrators of their own, write about matters dear to them, and then read carefully and comment on the work of their peers.
