ENGL 323 - AMERICAN FICTION 1945 TO THE PRESENT

Credits: Three
Prerequisite: ENGL 101, Minimum grade C-
This class will examine a few of the major authors and literary movements in America after World War II, decade by decade, in order to read them closely; consider how each is of its time as well as, potentially, timeless; compare the ways in which these works maintain as well as defy literary conventions; and discuss how different kinds of outsiders established their voices in American literature.  Authors studied may include Flannery O’Connor,  Ken Kesey, Toni Morrison, Maxine Hong Kingston, Sharon Olds, Tony Kushner, Sherman Alexie,  Don DeLillo, and others.
