Whether you’re writing fiction or nonfiction, magical realism can be a valuable tool for elevating your storytelling.
Created by Latin American writers in the 20th century, magical realism has evolved into a genre that produces evocative storytelling that highlights the biggest issues, concerns, and discussions of the modern world.
In this class, students will learn the history of magical realism, the basic elements of the genre, and how to utilize these elements in their work. Through a presentation and exercises offered by award-winning author Alex Temblador, students will leave this class with a more expansive (and magical) perspective for their creative writing approach.
