DESCRIPTION:What&rsquo\;s the secret to better writing? William Faulkner 
 may have put it best: &ldquo\;Read\, read\, read. Read everything!&rdquo
 \; Many of us started writing in the first place because we were moved o
 r inspired by something we&rsquo\;d read. This four-session class will a
 ttempt to recapture a little of that lightning in a bottle. Students wil
 l come to each class having read two short stories by writers who includ
 e Alice Munro\, Edward P. Jones\, Lorrie Moore\, Stuart Dybek\, Jhumpa L
 ahiri\, and Adam Haslett.\nBy examining the authors&rsquo\; varied uses 
 of voice\, point of view\, plot\, and humor\, students will walk away wi
 th a greater sense of contemporary literature\, as well as with concrete
  ways they can sharpen their own writing skills. The final third of each
  class will be devoted to workshopping students&rsquo\; work. Participan
 ts are encouraged\, but not required\, to have a piece of writing to sha
 re with the class.\nThe primary aim of this workshop is to help build st
 udents into better writers and to remind them that\, in spite of the tim
 e constraints the digital age is putting on us\, Stephen King has it rig
 ht when he says &ldquo\;If you don&rsquo\;t have the time to read\, you 
 don&rsquo\;t have the time or the tools to write.&rdquo\;
