Short Story and Dramatic Monologue
First person, singular. From the dramatic monologue to the one-sided short story via the homily, the diatribe, the after-dinner speech and the self-exculpation, we will be looking at what happens when the first person viewpoint is used in writing fiction. N.B. This is not a memoir or life-writing course.
