Writing the Weird
$445
Life is strange. Bizarre coincidences, déjà vu, uncanny experiences, and inexplicable occurrences are perhaps all more commonplace than we readily acknowledge. Fiction allows us to ramp this strangeness up just a notch, to vibrate at the frequency of the weird without losing the emotional credibility of everyday existence. During this eight-week course we’ll read and discuss genres and craft elements like fabulism, magical realism, absurdity, unreliable narrators, trick mirror logic, and more. Through generative prompts and constructive feedback, we’ll begin to craft our own acutely surreal realities. Expect to leave with several fresh starts to weird and wonderful works.
