About the Class
America's story is complex and evolving, full of as many stories as people to tell them. In this 8-week class, we'll explore works of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry that seek to give meaning to the American experiment. In conjunction with the Skirball's honoring of our nation's 250th anniversary, we'll write our own American tales in this mixed genre workshop.
All levels of experience are welcome.
