Isabel Allende: Personal History & Creative Process
Course Description:
Best-selling writer Isabel Allende, one of the most widely read Latin American female authors, frames each narrative within a historical context or current event. Her creative process recounts stories in which protagonists explore and endure life’s challenges. Her narrative frequently embraces situations related to social justice and women’s rights, always central to her work and heart. In this course we will explore Allende’s use of magic realism, geographical setting, imagery, word choice, and other stylistic devices in her narrative. Conducted in Spanish by Dr. Lynn McGovern.
