SW 356 - Hemingway in Paris: A Writing Workshop

Drawing upon Hemingway’s time in Paris for inspiration, this course will focus on writing short stories in both screenplay and narrative formats. Hemingway’s “A Moveable Feast,” a memoir of curated essays that he wrote while living in Paris in the 1920s, along with several of Hemingway’s short stories, will serve as launching points for discussions of Hemingway’s style and the short story form. Students will visit Hemingway’s haunts and hangouts around Paris catching a glimpse into Hemingway’s world, at the same time finding inspiration for writing original short stories and screenplays related to each student’s contemporary experiences on the trip. Letter grade with Pass/No Pass option. Fee: TBD. (Offered interterm.) 4 credits
