What do comic techniques have to do with producing a good narrative? Everything from the old one-two-three to economy, precision, and proper timing! What do David Foster Wallace and Dave Barry have in common? How does noticing what’s out of place heighten the focus? In this craft talk, participants will learn about a variety of skills borrowed from comedy routines to produce stories that readers will remember long after they’ve finished the last page.
Taught by David Galef, creative writing program director at Montclair State, who has published humor in places ranging from the old British Punch and The Village Voice to McSweeney’s and The Satirist.
