English 380 - Outsiders and the Lyric Impulse

Institution:

Colgate University

Subject:

Description:

P. O'Keeffe A consideration of individual stories by seminal non-US writers of the short form (Chekhov, Joyce, Woolf, and Lawrence) and then of individual collections by US writers who, not unlike the above authors, struggle to embody notions of community, belonging, and individuality (Anderson, Hemingway, Welty, Wright, O'Connor, Dubus, Carver, Paley, Moore, and Munro). Notions of community, belonging, and individuality are then traced to more recent collections by minority writers (Viramontes, Jones, Englander) and recent immigrant writers to the US (Lahiri, Diaz, Akpan, Lapcharoensap, and Li). (Post-1800 course.)
