Family Stories at the Palestine Writing Workshop, October 2011

In October, I traveled to Birzeit to teach a one-week course entitled FAMILY STORIES: WRITING FICTION AND NARRATIVE NON-FICTION FROM LIFE at the Palestine Writing Workshop. For inspiration we read work by Jamaica Kincaid, Maxine Hong Kingston, George Orwell, Grace Paley, and William Saroyan, among others. One of the students, Ian Rhodewalt, wrote a beautiful description of the work we did that week that was posted to Mondoweiss
