them to speak back, looked into

How do you name an item? What do you need to name a feeling? In this generative session, we’ll reimagine the relationship between the narrator and objects. By observing prism and dimensions, we tickle the tradition of entitlement and solidified reality. The class will begin with a close reading from contemporary Taiwanese novelists, followed by writing prompts. We will be examining works by Wu Ming-Yi, Chiu Miao-Chin, and others.
