"Uncreative Writing"?

I heard a discussion on "Uncreative writing" from the "On the Media" fro NPR. Host Brooke Gladstone and her guest Kenneth Goldsmith discusses plagiarism. What interests me is what Kenneth Goldsmith's experiments, that includes the "Uncreative Writing" course he has been teaching. See the course description on his website at

• ENGL 111.301 Uncreative Writing
• ENGL 111.301 Uncreative Writing: Robotic Erotica/Erotic Robotics: Scribing a Non-Expressive Sexuality
• ENGL 111.301 Experimental Writing Seminar: Uncreative Writing

The radio episode I was listening is

• Plagiarism: Maybe, Its Not So Bad

that also includes the transcript of the program.

Goldsmith has a book bearing the name of "Uncreative Writing".
