ENG 307 - Forms of Fiction: Home?

Home: a word often at the center of writing and definitely at the center of this fiction writing course. Like pigeons circling to roost, we will interrogate what home means through multiple genres. Literature, music, maps, recipes, purposeful observation, pop culture, and built structures will come into play.

We will examine the problem of home, the complication of home, the ease of home through a variety of lenses, fracturing preconceived notions and imagining unexpected worlds. Plan to be creative and inquisitive. We will craft very short and very long stories, in traditional, nontraditional, and hybrid fictional forms.
