Spring 2009 Class

Mavis Gallant Retrospective

(@ Richard Hugo House)

Mavis Gallant, one of the great short story writers, moved to Paris in 1950 to make it as a writer. A Canadian ex-pat, she still lives and writes in Paris. In this class, we'll look closely at the writer and her work and study the short story form. We'll also write Gallant-inspired fiction and read stories from different decades of her collected works. You'll receive a reading packet to read from, before and between sessions. In the first session, we'll watch "Paris Stories: The Writing of Mavis Gallant."
