Writer’s Soul: Jeanette Walls
In This Class:
This class studies memoir as a careful, relational practice. We sit with The Glass Castle and pay attention to how Jeanette Walls tells the truth without asking the reader to absorb her pain or make meaning for her. We look closely at restraint, pacing, and choice, how complexity can be placed on the page and trusted to stand on its own. Writing here becomes an act of witness and clarity, allowing sharp edges to exist without explanation. This class meets writers who are ready to tell what happened and trust the intelligence of their voice.
