INTRO FICTION: THE VANGUARD. In this course, we will look at texts from contemporary writers who are shaping the current literary culture. Writing being produced today by the vanguard has completely changed from the classics of the last century, and through studying the various techniques of the new era we will see how life as it is being lived today is reflected in published work. Students will submit stories to workshop for peer and instructor feedback, learning about critique and revision. We will read writing from Emma Cline, Ottessa Moshfegh, Raven Leilani, Garth Greenwell, Ocean Vuong, among others.
