This is a recurring event: View all events in the series “Taster sessions”
This taster seminar looks at Sally Rooney’s three published novels from an alternative perspective. While Conversations with Friends, Normal People and Beautiful World, Where Are You? have been praised for their prose style, characterisation and insight into contemporary mores, less attention has been given to their plotting. Indeed, at times they seem almost plotless.
In this taster seminar Jonathan Gibbs asks what lessons creative writers can learn from their counter-intuitive construction.
Dr Jonathan Gibbs is Programme Director of the MA and MFA Creative Writing programmes at City St George's. This session is open to anyone and everyone but is especially designed to give participants a taster of what studying on the MA and MFA Creative Writing at City St George's, University of London is like.
There will be a Q&A at the end of the webinar for interested applicants.
Attendance at City St George's events is subject to our terms and conditions.
