One does not become a better fiction writer solely through the mechanical exercise of writing alone, but also by reading fictional works with a keen eye towards an individual writer's craft, technique, and unique stylistic flair. In other words, it is by reading the fiction of others that you come to understand that you, too, as both a writer and a reader, have an already developed aesthetic sense that merely needs to be discovered, uncovered (or in some cases, strengthened), and articulated. Course readings will be partially selected according to topics raised in class, so all students should expect to discuss the particularities of each class reading at length.
