Fiction for the Way we Live
For the third time now I’m running this six-week writing class on the short story. Each time is very different, it’s a course that is continually shape-shifting. This is the first time doing it as an online course. So you can take part no matter where in the world you are!

We’ll be looking at short stories, both classic and recent. The core approach is that the short story is an art form suited to portray those whose lives don’t have enough coherence to make a novel. Or for aberrant states of mind. A good short story sticks in the mind and ferments there.

Andre Debus: “I love short stories because I believe they are the way we live. They are what our friends tell us, in their pain and joy, their passion and rage, their yearning and their cry against injustice.”

Online course, Tuesday evenings, starts September 10
