Course Description

Here’s your opportunity to put yourself in the shoes—or at the desk—of one of our era’s greatest writers. This session will blend a close reading of the first chapter of Toni Morrison’s Beloved with an opportunity to experiment with her techniques in your own work. By focusing on Morrison’s use of setting, scene elements, and character interaction, we will learn how to establish what’s at stake for your story, what drives the action, and what will keep your readers turning the page. (Please read the first chapter before coming to class. For a digital copy, email writersstudio@uchicago.edu )
