Section Info:
We will examine how the short story genre creates mood and impact. We will also explore how the short story differs from other literary genres to assess its strengths and weaknesses. To do so, we’ll read a bracing array of stories across a range of experiences, nationalities, outlooks, and time frames. Eudora Welty, James Baldwin, James Joyce, Willa Cather, William Faulkner, Toni Cade Bambara, Edgar Allan Poe, Jean Toomer, Bobbie Ann Mason, Virgilio Pinera, Rebecca West, Paul Auster, are some of the authors in this course. Students will also learn about regionalism, Modernism, Postmodernism, the Absurd, detective fiction, the global south, plantationocene, ecocriticism, postcolonialism among other themes and ideas. Further, this class will utilize a workshop approach in that we’ll read each short story together in class and instructional content will be delivered in video form outside of class. Close reading assignments, reader response essays, a multimodal component, and short essays will comprise the writing in this course.
