Will Rogers once said, “If you don't like the weather in Oklahomawait a minute and it'll change.”  In this course we will consider the weather in fiction and literature and its place in story.  We will read authors for how they craft the weather in stories and novels such as: The Weather Fifteen Years Ago by Wolf Haas, Louise Erdrich’s The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No HorseWeather Reports You by Roni Horn, or Bright Raft in the Afterweather by Jennifer Elise Foerster, The Right To be Cold by Sheila Watt-Cloutier.  Questions we may consider: How do indigenous writers and mainstream writers create the weather in their works?  Reading and writing intensive.
