In this six-session course we will trace the development of the American short story by reading and discussing stories from The Best American Short Stories of the 20thCentury, an anthology edited by John Updike. Students will learn about such basic techniques of short story writing as point of view, setting, plot and character development, dialogue, symbolism, and metaphorical language. The course will include works by such acknowledged masters of the short story form as Philip Roth, Bernard Malamud, Joyce Carol Oates, Cynthia Ozick, Raymond Carver, John Updike, Alice Munro, and Annie Proulx.
