ENCW 305 - The Reading Life

CR: 3
Prerequisite: ENCW 101 or a 200-level ENCW course. Writers find their way through their lives-the difficult stretches, the impossible journeys, the lonely hours, the loves and losses, the celebrations and victories and births and deaths and separations-through books. Stories-and poems and essays-can be steadfast companions who unfailingly reward and edify and comfort. In this course on writers and the books they love, students will explore the particular genre that blends memoir and personal narrative with literary criticism and appreciation and will complete both creative and analytical assignments.
