The Oulipo: creative writing using constraints
What if the rules were the point? This course introduces the Oulipo tradition — the French literary movement whose members, including Georges Perec and Raymond Queneau, used self-imposed constraints not to restrict their writing but to liberate it.
You’ll work with lipograms, N+7, the snowball, and other techniques to produce work that surprises even you. No prior knowledge of Oulipo is needed — only curiosity and a willingness to write under unusual conditions.
