Information is the blessing and the curse of our digital age. How do writers adopt, and adapt, literary forms to manage information in novels, poetry, and literary nonfiction? Several University of Chicago faculty members in Creative Writing will discuss the many forms that information assumes in their art, in the lives of their characters and creations, and in their classrooms. They will discuss how new forms of information during the course of human history have shaped great works of literature from the past and present—and all of us will think about how information may shape the literature of the future.
