L5 IMAGINATION ROOM
What if Children’s Books Make No Sense?

Michael Heyman (Professor of Nonsense, Berklee College of Music)

Nonsense literature is a global excrescence of exuberance, but behind its hilarity is a rigorous sense of aesthetics and a bedrock of intelligent rebellion. This lecture will introduce literary nonsense, survey its various forms and functions around the world, and give advice on how to tap into its creative insanity.
