LIT-3900T: A Million Little Lies: Dishonesty & Deception in Creative Nonfiction

This one-day workshop considers memoir as both a literary genre and cultural phenomenon, and invites students to wrestle with questions about the ethics of identity appropriation, the limits of creative license, and the ways in which our seemingly insatiable cultural appetite for stories of extremity, excess and trauma help to create an environment that encourages authors to misrepresent their identity or experience. Students are expected to complete all assigned reading prior to the workshop, participate in creative writing exercises, and contribute to robust class discussion.
