Joan Didion begins “Goodbye To All That,” “It is easy to see the beginnings of things, and harder to see the ends.” In this ninety-minute seminar, we’ll read and write about ends, endings, lasts, but not the big ones. We’ll narrow our subjects to the quotidian, the everyday, the ordinary—maybe a phone call? the closing of a door? the last movie you saw at what’s now an abandoned drive-in? —in an exploration of how ends, whether we clearly saw them in the moment or recognized them later—stay with us.
This seminar is one of the most rewarding for me, and the most helpful for writers who might be experiencing grief, needing closure, or finding ways to make the ordinary extraordinary.
