Surrealism in fiction: being magical, whimsical or uncanny.<\/p>\n

As soon as storytelling was born, surrealism came to the world. In fact, surrealistic storytelling used to be the only narrative. As human beings, we understood the world through stories of heroes who fought the sun and housewives who fled to the moon. However, surrealistic literature doesn\u2019t just mean folktales or fantasy. It is in fact a realistic reflection of the world. It can be magical, whimsical and entertaining; it can also be heavy, unsettling and revealing. In this workshop, we will experiment with how surrealistic touches change a story and discuss the possibilities of the surrealistic storytelling tradition in the contemporary setting.<\/p>\n

Booking is now open for this workshop with this eminent author.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

News: We apologise that the “White Horse and Mountain Stories” Salon event connected to this has been cancelled. All ticketholders for the Salon event will be offered refunds. Please accept our apologies. <\/em><\/p>\n

\n

* We are offering two subsidised places to students, anybody in receipt of benefits (i.e. Jobseekers Allowance, Universal Credit or PIP), lone parents, and workers on a part time or zero hours contract who wouldn\u2019t be able to afford to come otherwise.<\/p>\n
