this should come as no surprise if you’ve seen our twitter account (or taken our classes), but joy williams is one of our very favorite writers. if you don’t already know her, joy williams maintains a singular presence in contemporary american fiction; her work combines the mundane with the fantastic, in ways that are strange, dark, biting, frequently transcendent, and always incredibly funny. in this 5-week workshop, we will celebrate and learn from all things joy, while pulling lessons from her work and applying them to your own stories to be workshopped each week in class.
