Writer’s Corner: Writing in Theory and Practice, Chapter 6

In the Writer’s Corner workshop salons hosted by Sylvia R, we gather to discuss and learn from some of the greatest writers and works of literature. 

In this session, the focus will be on Jorge Luis Borges’s short story “Death and the Compass”.

The workshop will be structured as follows:

Section 1: Discuss

This is an interactive section where we talk about the themes, ideas, and technical qualities of a piece of literature, in this case “Death and the Compass”.

Section 2: Write

We’ll spend one hour silently writing together. You’re welcome to work on anything that interests you: short, long fiction, non-fiction, journaling, academic papers, Twitter threads.

Section 3: Exchange Feedback

We’ll read each other’s work and exchange concrete suggestions as to how to make a piece more readable, beautiful, powerful, convincing.

Salon reading materials:

• Death and the Compass
• Jorge Luis Borges on Writing
