Whether it’s David Sedaris self-mockingly ruminating upon the theme of one particularly ‘neighborly’ Christmas in Holidays on Ice, or Barbara Kingsolver reminiscing in High Tide in Tucson that promoting novels in a sound-bite culture “is like selling elephants from a gumball machine,” humor is scattered all over modern non-fiction, we just have to go out and find it. In this class, we’ll take a look at different types of humor from a fine cast of non-fiction authors, and then see if we can ourselves dabble in the lost art that apparently never was lost.

This is an online workshop. The day of the workshop you will receive an email with the link to the Zoom video chat. If you can't find the email with the link, please check your spam folder. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]. You can access the online class via computer or cell phone with an internet connection.
