Deep study of a single author’s work is one of the best ways to focus and improve one’s craft—and William Faulkner’s oeuvre is among the richest in the English language. Join us for a generative author study, where we will unpack the singular genius of Faulkner’s approach, attitude, and method, submerging ourselves in the technical virtuosity of America’s greatest novelist.
In this ten-week workshop, students will revitalize their sense of the possibilities of fiction through deep reading Faulkner’s four greatest achievements—As I Lay Dying, The Sound and The Fury, Absalom! Absalom!, and The Hamlet—, analyzing their techniques and generating new ideas about compositional methods via group discussion. Supplemented by interviews, speeches, and lectures given by the author, students will extract for themselves a timeless, personal, and forever useful methodology.
Over the course of the eight weeks, students will generate four pieces of short fiction and have the opportunity to present their work to the class for feedback…
