Bringing together novelists and poets with literary theorists and literary historians, Creative Writing and Critical Thought is a series of lively and in-depth conversations about the state of literary practice and study in contemporary American culture.
In this installment, Garth Greenwell (Cleanness, What Belongs to You), Lambda Literary Award finalist and author of the “the great gay novel for our times” (the New Republic), joins Carolyn Dinshaw (How Soon Is Now?, Getting Medieval), world renowned scholar of queer theory and LGBTQ studies, in conversation. Greenwell and Dinshaw will discuss desire and discovery, past and present, through their intersecting lenses of fiction and theory.
The conversations that result from this series will be published in the New Literary History journal as well as online, creating a permanent record of dialogues among a variety of prominent writers and theorists thinking together about the nature and role of creative practice.
Creative Writing and Critical Thought is an occasional series co-sponsored by New Literary History and The Center for Fiction.
