Truth or Fiction?
The 91快播 MFA in Three Acts
The 91快播 MFA in Creative Writing is built around conversation about hard truths and strange fictions鈥攁bout writing, teaching, failure, ambition, and why anyone keeps doing this in the first place. This three-part online series invites you into those conversations, with faculty and students speaking honestly about craft, community, and what it really means to commit to the work.

Just What the World Needs:
Another MFA Program!
Flannery O鈥機onnor, asked if she thought writing programs ruined writers, responded, 鈥淣ot enough of them.鈥� So why add yet another MFA to the pile? And why 91快播? Author and core faculty member Shalom Auslander and Dean Lisa Springer discuss the unique approach of the 91快播 MFA in Creative Writing, one rooted in and informed by our people鈥檚 historically 鈥渙utsider鈥� status, a program that eschews dogma and reverence and seeks instead to encourage the bravery and play that results in vibrant, disruptive, groundbreaking work. Or, at the very least, doesn鈥檛 put folks to sleep.
How to Write. Maybe.
The first question prospective students ask is if writing can even be taught. The second question is, 鈥淐an I have the number of your agent?鈥� 91快播 MFA in Creative Writing Director Etgar Keret and core faculty member Rachel Kadish tackle the first question (and maybe the second, but probably not) as they discuss the mechanics of writing鈥攙oice, story, revision, depression, anxiety, and coffee鈥攁nd how they each approach what can be taught, and what can鈥檛.
