Nick Flynn Memoir as Bewilderment (24PearlStreet LIVE) Non-Fiction August 24 to August 28, 2020 Tuition: $500 Class Size: 12 Session: summer Level: 1 week asynchronous workshop

In The Unnamable, Beckett offers this: “Dear incomprehension, it’s thanks to you I’ll be myself in the end.” In our week together, I would like to examine this idea by thinking about the concept of “bewilderment” and how it gets acted out in our writing—either through syntax, our accessing the duende, leaps into the unconscious, or simply circling around what is unsaid, unknown, unrealized. This will be a generative workshop, in the sense that we will look closely at work we bring in to find ways to transform it, go deeper into the shadow world.

LIVE ELEMENTS: **This course will be held on Zoom. Class will be held from 12-2 PM EST Monday – Friday.**
