ENGLISH 276 - Contemporary Experimental Fiction. Fall 2008

Institution:

Franklin and Marshall College

Subject:

Description:

We are accustomed, when we read fiction, to "suspending our disbelief," seeing through the textinto a world we recognize as familiar and realistic. We also know from experience what a story should include in order to fulfill the conventional criteria for fiction: characters, plot, and climax, for example. In this course we will read and study fictions that break the rules. Texts include work by Italo Calvino, John Barth, Lydia Davis, Kathy Acker, Chris Ware, and Raymond Queneau. Sherin Wright
