ENGL 381E - High-Altitude Writing (Extended Study)
A three-week extended study from Kathmandu, Nepal, to Mt. Everest base camp. Students study the art and craft of writing about far-flung places, as well as recent news stories about Mt. Everest. Texts also include such classics as <em>The Snow Leopard</em> by Peter Matthiessen and <em>Into Thin Air</em> by Jon Krakauer. In conversation with the professor, each student composes a work of creative nonfiction that might consider, among other possibilities, what constitutes the 21st-century sublime: What, if anything, does it mean to stand near the top of the Earth?
