Section information
In this class, we are going to explore two types of flash prose: flash fiction and flash creative nonfiction. We’ll look into the history of the short form and read writers who practiced the art hundreds of years ago as well as in our contemporary world. Be prepared to write—and write succinctly. Let’s take Nietzsche’s advice as we head into class each day: “It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book.
