MFA 692 - Contemporary Global Fiction

Unit(s): 3

This course emphasizes the literary techniques employed by contemporary international fiction writers and may also reference classic works of the late twentieth century. Studying both long and short fiction, students will examine the strategies writers use to render a social world, whether in the form of realism, magical or fantastic realism, or metafiction, and consider how literary influence traverses cultural borders and is shaped and re-shaped in the process. Students will apply what they learn to their own creative work.
