How can fiction approach grief? Sample writers such as Anne Enright, Raymond Carver, Patricia Grace, and Anton Chekhov, and explore various ways fiction can dramatise moments of extreme personal loss.

How can we give this universal experience a feeling of newness? How can we shape our fictional scenes to give grief emotional force on the page?

Find out in this masterclass with 2025 Ockham New Zealand Jann Medlicott Acorn Prize for Fiction winner Damien Wilkins.
