Masterclass Recording: Read like a Writer

All writers were readers first, and all writing can be seen as a conversation between writers and readers past and present. What does that conversation sound like? This masterclass with author Guy Gunaratne will focus on developing an approach to reading fiction and non-fiction – reading hungrily, variedly, voraciously and with pleasure – using a framework for developing sensitivities that will leave writers thinking: if that is what came before, and this is what is in the air today, what could come next?

Tying threads between an eclectic list of novelists, poets, and playwrights such as Ali Smith, Charles Dickens, Caryl Churchill, Virginia Woolf and James Baldwin (with asides from the likes of Terry Eagleton, George Steiner and Margurite Duras) this will be a leap into literature that will help jumpstart a sustained practice of reading as a writer.
