Description:

An introduction to the novel itself in which we try to sustain the joy of first readings and attempt to understand how authors invite us to co-create this "other world," and how historical events and individuals are a part of this creative process. Our texts may range in length from Dicken ? Tale of Two Citi es to Tolstoy 's War and Pea ce, in subject from politics in Warre n's All the King's Men, and Garcia Mar quez' The General in His Lab yrinth to debates about historical sources like Yourc enar's The Memoirs of Hadrian and Vargas Llosa's The War of the End of th e World. Selections from Latin American novelists like Garcia Marques, Fuentes, and Vargas Llosa may help us understand why the historical novel has been such a prominent literary mode in Central and South America.
