Class Description:


It is our most "modern" genre, and as such, I could have justified choosing novels from the early 1700s and short fiction from the 1800s, but I'll keep it more contemporary than that. At its origins fiction was a disreputable beast, and as such had a freedom to push boundaries and misbehave in ways that its eminent and established older cousin, poetry, could not. Since the 19th century, short fiction and novels have maintained a nicely balanced space between experimentation and accessibility, while at the same time reminding us that stories are central to the human condition; every human culture tells stories. They define us: as individuals, as families, as societies, as humans.

http://classinfo.umn.edu/?olso6529+ENGL1701+Spring2017
Class Description:
Our course examines various works of modern and postmodern fiction and, in so doing, considers the relationship between the cultural preoccupations of the present and the recent past. We'll read contemporary texts by Egan, Flynn, and Harbach, as well as older works by Kafka and Faulkner, among others. Students can expect to write two essays, engage in three to five seminar discussions, and complete three short exams.
Grading:
Exams (essay and short answer); detailed, guided homework assignments and related in-class work. If you choose to take this class "S/N," please be aware that in order for your work to be considered "Satisfactory" you must complete all three exams and all three homework assignments. You cannot calculate your points and decide to simply not complete one of these components.
