Longer than a short story but shorter than a novel, the novella has been practiced for generations by distinguished writers. Yet there is a lingering aesthetic criticism that haunts the form: A pervading sense that novellas are not finished stories, that some measure of necessary trimming, or bulking up, remains undone.
The four-week class led by Dr. Jaina Sanga will discuss the novella’s strengths and limitations, and discover fresh reason to celebrate fiction's most eccentric form.
Readings include: The Steppe by Anton Chekhov, The Dead by James Joyce, and The Strange Library by Haruki Murakami. The last class will feature a book signing and discussion of Tourist Season by Jaina Sanga.
Class meets October 5, 12, 19, and 26, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
