His lectures were fun and usually involved an activity (for attendance, but could be prob be done virtually). He chooses books by lesser known, smaller authors, often local, who then speak in class. Creative writing assignments are done in tandem w/ the reading. Group work is limited to small group discussion.

There are 9 novels you need to get for this class, but you can get by without reading them and just attending lecture. There is only a midterm, a final, and 2 papers.
