How much description is too much? How do you include worldbuilding, clues, sensory information, and other important context without dumping, As-You-Know-Bobbing, or going on elliptical journeys to the Outer Limits of Reader/audience patience? Attend and find out!

Utopia: Literature Social Theory and Community
Sunday October 20, 2024 3:00pm - 3:50pm PDT

Created equal and "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights." Is the Declaration of Independence a utopian document? The right to vote, the abolition of slavery, the forty-hour work week: these were once the stuff of utopian dreams and yet they have come to be through real struggle, embodying the potential new world in words and actions. Is contemporary utopian literature possible? What is the society you want to live in and what are you doing to make it happen?
