ENGL 235 - Global Short Fiction

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

This course will introduce students to a cast of writers from a variety of backgrounds who have used the form of the short story to project dramatic experiences and convey sometimes unique cultural ethos. In addition to examining thematic concerns and stylistic choices, we will explore how different writers have adapted the conventions of the short story and incorporated elements of other traditions to suit their narrative purpose. We will read some North American and European writers, but the emphasis will fall on writers from traditionally underrepresented parts of the world. For English majors, this course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing cultural contexts. 1.00 units, Lecture
