3 credits 45.0 hours

This seminar introduces students to the tricky, increasingly popular and frequently misunderstood genre of the linked short story collection. Links among grouped stories occur in different ways-through theme, structure, setting, character, shifting points of view. Through critical reading and writing, students will learn different approaches to shaping a linked story collection and make a thoughtful, informed attempt at writing two linked stories of their own.
