Class Details
In this course we will read some of the most prominent practitioners of creative non-fiction–writers like John McPhee, Joan Didion, Edward Abbey, Malcolm Gladwell, Ryszard Kapuscinski, Susan Orlean, Tobias Wolff, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Michael Pollan. Students will also write in a variety of non-fiction modes–explainers, tick-tocks, profiles, essays, memoirs. We will probe the border between invention and fact and consider the ways that narratives are constructed.
