Memoir as Bewilderment – LIVE via ZOOM: 9am-12pm (Eastern) on August 19th.

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 and go deeper into the shadow world — in this it is also a radical revision workshop.

Sprints are 3 hour generative workshops with stellar writers, usually centered on a theme.

This workshop is limited to 100 participants.
