I've always loved when my students watch film adaptations of what we studying and share their insights in class. Decided to make a new seminar out of it! Join us for lots of close-reading, discussion, and feedback on your own WIP!

@greatplacebooks.bsky.social class starting in April! Inspired by a student's request 😍 We'll read Munro, Dubus, Eugenides, and Ishiguro and determine what film reveals about form—especially that of the short story!

How does a ten-page short story lend itself to a two-hour movie? How can we make sure our own work is equally complex, rich, and open to interpretation?
