This class discusses the issues of authenticity and “truth” in writing, analyzing George Orwell’s 1946 essay “Politics and the English Language” and Bertolt Brecht’s 1935 essay “Writing the Truth: Five Difficulties.” Students will examine their own work to learn how to write fiction that speaks honestly. A former Fulbright Scholar in Taiwan, Shawna Yang Ryan now teaches at City College of San Francisco. Her debut novel, Water Ghosts, was a Maurice Prize winner and a finalist for the Northern California Book Award.
