Charles Baxter: A Dialogue on Dialogue (July 2016)

Hey, everybody: let’s put on a show! Charles Baxter’s lecture explores and (with the assistance of two other faculty members) enacts a range of approaches to dialogue in both fiction and poetry, exploring strategies of silence, ping-pong dialogue, the art of the rant, cruel triangulations, self-interruptions, and actual interruptions in works by Eisenberg, Rabe, Kooser, and others.
