Summary
Go Off-Kilter:
Writing short, fabulist fiction
with Moriah Hampton
Wednesdays, January 22 - Feb 19, on ZOOM, 7 PM EST
This class will use Google Classroom for sharing materials, tracking assignments, and hosting mid-week discussions. Each week there will also be a live, in-person Zoom meeting for at least 90 mins.
If your favorite fiction is grounded in realism but shoots off in fantastic, odd, or horrific directions, fabulism is for you. This five-week course will familiarize students with fabulism through stories by well-known offbeat writers, Aimee Bender, Jamaica Kincaid, and Steven Millhauser, to understand the ways fabulist fiction departs from familiar reality. Throughout the class, students will practice incorporating fabulist elements into their own writing. Using a realistic scene as a starting point, students will consider different ways to “go off-kilter” and discuss the significance of such choices. Finally, students will return to a short piece of fiction they've written and revise it by incorporating fabulist elements. Students will receive one-on-one feedback on their work from the instructor at two points throughout the class.
