Fictions: Memory and Imagination
(December 4 – December 6, 2009)
Weekend Workshops
This workshop explores the connections among memoir, autobiography, and fiction and seeks to develop an appreciation of the stories we write about our lives and the fictions we construct from the “facts” of our lives. The workshop is for teachers, writers, and readers who want to immerse themselves in writing autobiography and fiction and to learn how such writing can alter our understanding of the events of our lives. By exploring our own fictions and memoirs, we become more aware of fiction as a thought experiment as well as a literary genre.
