WRITING | Creative Writing Lectures
Now in its fifth year, CWL brings distinguished writers to Columbia for original talks on literary craft. The writers are diverse and brilliant, with a wide range of artistic strategies, and each talk turns into a short course on the challenges of making vital literary art.
George Saunders is the author of five works of fiction, including the award-winning story collections CivilWarLand in Bad Decline (1996), Pastoralia (2000), and In Persuasion Nation (2006), as well as the collection of essays, The Braindead Megaphone (2007). In 1999, he was chosen as one of The New Yorker’s “20 Under 40.” He is the winner of four National Magazine Awards and the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship. His writing has appeared in The New Yorker, Harper’s, Esquire, GQ, and McSweeney’s, among many others. In 2006, Mr. Saunders was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship. He is currently Professor of Creative Writing at Syracuse University.
