LIT 2010 Spring 2022 Kimball

This is an introductory course to long form fiction—novels and collections of linked short stories. We will be looking at place and how place can displace a character or empower a character and affect construction of identity. We will look at a large range of place-based fiction, both historical and contemporary. Among others, some of the texts we will study are Wuthering Heights, Lost in the City, Salvage the Bones, and Blindness.
