The Role of Story in the Creative Arts (A Cross-Arts Symposium)

Thursday, April 26 + Friday, April 27| see schedule below

Nobel laureate V.S. Naipaul recently observed that fiction has been outstripped, and perhaps rendered obsolete, by “reality.” While neither new nor particularly well considered (“fiction” has always been a slippery term, given the imagination’s grounding in the real), Naipaul’s assertion gave voice to a generalized sense that some essential re-alignment is underway; that narrative perhaps, if not “fiction,” precisely, is under some form of transformative pressure; that what is broadly thought of as “story” is taking new shapes, crossing into new territory, mating with forms previously seen as distinct, or, conceivably, undergoing something of a renaissance.

In bringing together individuals from a number of the creative arts, “The Role of Story in the Creative Arts” considers where “narrative” currently resides in the arts, what kind of pressures it labors under, what role it plays in the work of those most responsive to its particular demands and, not least, how the term is understood by artists from different disciplines.

Reading by Mark Slouka

Thursday, May 3 | 4:30pm | Rosenwald 405, 11010 E. 58th Street

Reading by Committee on Creative Writing Chair Mark Slouka to celebrate the April 2007 book release of The Visible World.

“An eloquent testament to the power of storytelling.” -- Kirkus Reviews

“The Visible World weds the intensity and intimacy of an autobiographical voice with the fierce tension of fiction. It's a triumph of story-telling, haunted by a great love and lit by the still smoldering fires of mid-century Central Europe. When has an elegy ever been so passionate, and a historical moment so fully imagined?” -- Patricia Hampl

“Sentence for sentence, word for word, Mark Slouka is one of our very best writers: he calls to mind Berger, Sebald, Erdrich, Ondaatje. The Visible World is an extraordinary love story about what lies underneath. It questions form and examines complexity, but at its heart it's also an elegant tale of history and redemption. This is a book that will last." -- Colum McCann

According to Nelson DeMille, "Controlled Burn is good. Very good. Remarkable, actually. Tough, gritty, and honest -- reminiscent of Hemingway with a little bit of John Steinbeck. Scott Wolven writes about an America that few of us have ever seen--and he writes about it from first-hand experience." According to Anthony Swofford, author of Jarhead, "It has been at least a few years since a story collection gripped me from first to last. The drought has ended, and now I will read this book again. The wisdom, love, and depravity of convicts, boxers, cranksters, loggers, and drunks fill the stove of this fine book so that long after you finish the last story, Scott Wolven's savage and lovely characters and crystalline prose will burn through your heart." Wolven lives in upstate New York.
