Intertextual Trips: Teaching the Essay in the Composition Class.
Kline, Nancy
Journal of Teaching Writing, v8 n2 p15-37 Fall-Win 1989
Cites essays by Joan Didion, John Berryman, and Martin Luther King in arguing that the essay, no matter how serious, can be considered as a fiction and a playful, exploratory and deeply interesting rhetorical game. Describes how these works were used to teach students that the essay is a living document calling for interaction. (SG)
