Description: A course in creative prose writing, in which students will be considering the social, psychological, and metaphysical underpinnings of apocalyptic literature while embarking on their own end-of-the-world writing projects. We will read several touchstone novels of the genre, watch a number of films, and generally contemplate the notion that we are, in the end, just another species, roaming the earth until we stop. Course counts toward the English Creative Writing Major Concentration (ECRW) and the English Creative Writing Minor (CREW).
