An Introduction to Experimental Writing with Rob Doyle

Rob Doyle, author of Here are the Young Men and This is the Ritual, offered us a whirlwind tour through the work of some of the great risk-taking, playful and inventive authors who have looked beyond conventional literary forms. Cut-ups, metafiction, autofiction, writing with constraints, automatic writing, microfictions, stream of consciousness: explorations of the techniques will be enlivened by sample readings from classic works, both well-known and obscure, from Ulysses and Borges to more recent developments in the rich tradition of experimental writing.
