Auto-fiction (Autobiographic) Writing

In this course we will focus on the development of personal writing. Our goal is to produce written material that stems from the realm of our own subjectivity. Confession, secret, memoire, autobiography, journal, letters, chronicle, and non-fiction writing will be central. We will achieve our objectives through theory and practice of intimate writing. We will also have the opportunity to read and discuss literary works of important Hispano-American authors (literature and theoretical works) including Cortázar, González-Valdés, Fernández, Giardinelli, Grijelmo, Larrosa, Latini, Mangel, Onetti, Piglia, Rodríguez, and Vargas Llosa.
