Writing Weird: A Workshop on Surrealism and Flash Fiction
About the Event
How do you write a story in less than 1,000 words? How do you make it weird? And why would you do either of those things? This Community Studio focuses on what surrealism can do for writers and readers alike, and how flash fiction can be a useful exercise in every writer’s toolbox.
What do people mean when they say something is ‘surreal’? An introduction to the surrealist movement, Leonora Carrington, and what it is about weird fiction that we just can’t turn away from.
