In early December, Rumpus columnist Steve Almond will teach writing classes at the SF Grotto.
His December 7th class will focus on the idea of embracing one’s obsessions to jump-start good writing, avoiding the pitfalls of sentiment and self-absorption. On December 8th, Steve will teach a class pitching “funny” as the “new deep,” keeping in mind that “the comic impulse is inextricably linked to tragedy.”
The fee is $75 for a single course, or $135 for both. E-mail christine.baniewicz@gmail.com to reserve a space.
