ENG 453 - Creative Nonfiction


Creative nonfiction–also known as “literature of fact” or “the fourth genre” (after drama, poetry, and fiction)-is fact-based writing that deploys such literary devices as narrative, setting and character development.  It comes in many forms, including the personal essay, memoir, literary journalism, cultural criticism, travelogue, nature writing, and documentary.  This course will focus on one or more of these forms, and include sample readings, weekly writing assignments, and regular workshopping of student work.
