The sentence is an infinitely elastic instrument containing thousands of microdecisions. So which decisions make your sentences become your sentences?

This session will examine virtuosic sentences—from Herman Melville to Toni Morrison—exploring what these sentences might have been in the hands of another writer, exposing what makes them unique.

We will look at syntax, diction, and sonic elements, as well as attitude and subtext. Lecture and exercises, with sharing, feedback, and Q&A.
