Plot as Repair: A Workshop with Eleanor Catton

A good plot feels neither overdetermined nor arbitrary. Its job is to surprise not just the reader, but the characters as well; to create desires, and - eventually - to sate them. Under the guidance of Man Booker Prize-winning Eleanor Catton (The Luminaries, Birnam Wood), you'll consider the breaches of trust and expectation that are integral to plots of every kind and discuss the infinite ways they can be mended, denied, projected, repeated, forgotten, forgiven, and avenged.
