Sunday, December 27, 2020 One-Sentence Story (Youth) Timelines: 3b: Past Workshops (Unseen Archive), 4: Gabriel Bump Workshops & Event
In this workshop, we will fit big stories into a small package. Students are encouraged to take risks with punctuation, mess with preconceived notions of sentences, allow their voices to twist and ramble. We’ll discover how a sentence can contain much more than a single thought. Students will read masterful sentences from Lydia Davis, Lucy Ellmann, and Laszlo Kasznahorkai. Writers of all genres are encouraged to attend.
