The course in this volume asks the fundamental questions: What is writing (and what might it be for those entering the university), what are its possible uses (both inside and outside the academy), and how it might be valued (what makes
writing good, and good for what)? The course described in these pages was developed in the context of the distinctive and influential NYU writing program. And from within that program, Kristin Dombek and Scott Herndon have created an intriguing and compelling course, one they have designed and taught and presented to others, a course that negotiates the wonderful (and surprising) conjunction of grammar, theory, and popular culture. In the current academic market, books like this are few and far between. It is not a textbook, yet it is a book addressed to teachers
and students.
