Reading as a Writer: Masterclass with Tony Tulathimutte

This is a class that teaches a skill: not reading as a reader, or as a critic, but the kind of reading you do when you want to learn how a story works.

Going to go line by line through an entire story – Raymond Carver's two-page ‘One More Thing’ – Tony Tulathimutte discusses with participants what every single sentence contributes to the story as a whole, including and especially the subtext. Together you’ll learn the subtle, implicit and ambiguous ways writers impart information to readers and, once through Carver’s story, you'll be able to apply the same approach to your favourite stories.
