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 will also be a radical revision workshop.
10-20 pages of work in various stages of completion, from notes on napkins to a couple polished pages, will be asked of you to arrive with.
