CA 410 - Craft and Contemporary Comedic LiteratureCredits: 4 credits
Delves into the works of nine masters of comedic writing-novelists, memoirists, essayists, short story writers and playwrights such as Oscar Wilde, Lorrie Moore, David Sedaris, Amy Hempel, and Junot Díaz. Students examine the structure of these writers’ stories while also scrutinizing their works on a sentence level. To practice their craft and expand their range, students write and workshop three “inserts,” one- page imitations of a text. The final paper is a comedic story or a paper analyzing one or more texts studied over the semester.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Restrictions: CA 300 and Junior standing.
