Recording: Fiction that Transcends our Time with Donald Maass
In our extreme times, it feels like fiction cannot compete with reality. Its aim is too low and its effect too small…but it doesn’t have to be that way. Anxiety and helplessness can be integral elements in any story. This workshop shows how to use them—and other difficult emotions—to give shape to a novel that becomes a profound journey toward meaning, a courageous quest toward the high goals of endurance, acceptance and the ultimate prize: self-knowledge.
