Course Theme

How do writers transform personal experience into the artistic representation of life? How and why does the individual become the universal through the literary process? In these workshops, novelist and memoirist Rachel Cusk will examine the function of personal material in the creation of fictional reality, and likewise of fictional techniques in the creation of autobiography. The aim of the course is to encourage students to make better use of experience and personal material, and to gain more control over both the style and the substance of their fiction.
