Geek's Guide to Literary Theory

Once upon a time, some teacher may have tried to convince you of the right way to read a piece of literature. Lit theory is not about the "right" or "wrong" way to read a text. It's like a wibbly wobbly group of lenses through which we view writing in order to gain a greater understanding of the work. What's more, nerd and geek culture are already masters at several of these lenses. Join writer and educator M. Todd Gallowglas to find out what lenses you already use as well as other ways to examine literary texts, yours and others, in order to deepen your understanding of the craft of fiction. Plus, you'll sound hella smart in bars and at parties.
