Section Title:
Junot Diaz
Section Info:
Topic "Junot Diaz." Meets with ENGL 455. In a relatively short period of time, Junot Diaz has become one of the most widely read and recognized Latino writers in the U.S. Focusing on his Pultizer Prize winning novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, his short story collections Drown and This Is How You Lose Her, and a number of his essays and short stories, this course will examine the overlapping concerns of race, sexuality, class, and gender central to Diaz’s work. We will also read essays in the recently published collection of scholarly essays titled Junot Diaz and the Decolonial Imagination to historically and politically contextualize his writing while also examining his intellectual and personal influences, which range from women of color feminism to DC and Marvel Comics.
Restriction(s):
Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
