Section Info:
This course will provide a comprehensive and diverse introduction to the short story across various forms, collections, eras, nations, genders, races, and sexualities. We will read stories from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries that originate from American, European, African, and Asian contexts and that range from the incredibly succinct (six pages or less) to extensive lengths that approximate novella forms. Students can expect to encounter topics such as: haunted houses and ghoulish legends; the psyche and (in)sanity; fairy tales and modern feminist revisions; systemic and institutional racism and its violent ramifications; gendered migration and generational acculturation; and the AIDS crisis and its effects for queer subjects. In engaging these topics, students can expect to read a range of canonical, non-canonical, and emerging writers like: Edgar Allan Poe, James Joyce, Kate Chopin, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Angela Carter, Sandra Cisneros, Jhumpa Lahiri, James Baldwin, Achy Obejas, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Nafissa-Thompson Spires.
