Master Class: The Craft of Character with Bruce Holsinger
This class will address the making of human characters in fiction. Characters–believable, authentic, sympathetic–are the lifeblood of story. Who wants to read or keep reading a novel if we don\’t care about the fellow human beings inhabiting its setting and guiding its plot? We\’ll look at several examples of great characters and try out some character-building exercises of our own. All levels welcome.
Bruce Holsinger is a novelist and scholar based in Charlottesville, Virginia. He is the author of two award-winning historical novels, A Burnable Book and The Invention of Fire, as well as a new contemporary novel, The Gifted School (Riverhead/Penguin Random House, 2019). His writing has appeared in The New York Times, The New York Review of Books, The Washington Post, Slate, and many other publications. @bruceholsinger
