Class members are encouraged to summarize an essay of their choice, describe the background of its author, and lead a discussion of the essay. Two essays will be discussed each week. The text for the course is The Best American Essays 2022, edited and with an introduction by Alexander Chee. Reading assignments for the first class will be sent to the class in the introductory email. This course can be taken separately or together with the previous Discussing the Essay course.
