Description:
This course will explore the idea of "ethnic writing" in both theory and practice. Students will examine how writers draw upon race and ethnicity (not always their own) to produce creative works and will then put these ideas in practice in their own writing, including but not limited to fiction, poetry, memoir, and inter-genre work. Guest authors such as Edward Bok Lee, Andre Dubus III, and Rishi Reddi will also be visiting the class. Interested students should attend the first session prepared for an in-class exercise that will determine attendance.
