Found Forms in Fiction: Letters, Tweets, & Beyond Thurs nights in October, 2018 | Oct 4, 11, 18, 25 | 6-9 pm / 12 hours total Members or full time students: $139 | General enrollment: $159 Cap: 12 | All experience levels Location: Anchorage, 421 W. 1st Ave, Suite 200 (Alaska Humanities Forum office) In this four-week class, we’ll study pieces of fiction that borrow formal structures from elsewhere in culture. We’ll study a classic epistolary work, innovative contemporary pieces like Rick Moody’s short story-in-tweets, and more. From there, we’ll identify forms that might be interesting to experiment with (as well as their respective formal possibilities and constraints). Students will write and workshop new stories utilizing borrowed forms. Instructor bio: Shane Castle is a UAA writing instructor and reader/proofreader forAlaska Quarterly Review.
