Tempo and Rhythm: Manipulating Time in Fiction with Gina Chung
Fiction is one of the few art forms that deals directly with the nature of time and its relentless forward motion, and in our increasingly frenetic world, a storyteller’s ability to speed up time and burn through plot is often prioritized above other factors. But fiction can allow us to become masters of time, and this lecture will discuss how, through tempo and rhythm, we can not only speed up, but also slow down, freeze, or collapse time at will. We’ll examine works from Jessica Au, K-Ming Chang, Raven Leilani, Toni Morrison, and Sterling HolyWhiteMountain, and also experiment with moving through time through generative writing exercises.
This is part of our 2024 Lecture Series. You can purchase the entire series by going here.
