AML 2590 - Literature of New York City

Institution:

St. Francis College

Subject:

Description:

No other city in America (or perhaps the world) has fired the literary imagination more than New York. We look at the incredible diversity of this literature, from immigrant narratives and migration tales to essays, comic strips, and short stories. We also investigate what it is about New York that provokes such interest among writers. What is New York a metaphor for-power, prestige, poverty, diversity, American exceptionalism? Why does the rest of the country continue to care about New York stories? Prerequisite: WRI 1100. 3 credits. Fall 2007.
