This section of EngL 1701 will work with as expansive a definition of "fiction" as possible, one that includes "literary" fiction, "experimental" fiction, "genre" fiction, and the "graphic novel" (for example). The list of authors we might study includes (but is not limited to) the following: Junot Diaz, Haruki Murakami, Lorrie Moore, Sandra Cisneros, John Edgar Wideman, Louise Erdrich, Roberto Bolaño, Lynda Barry, Tao Lin, Cormac McCarthy. Grades will be based on two long exams and a series of in-class writing assignments (i.e. "quizzes").

- http://classinfo.umn.edu/?sandl029+ENGL1701+Fall2017
- Class Description:
- The Oxford English Dictionary defines modern as "of or relating to the present or recent times," or "denoting the form of language that is currently used, as opposed to any earlier form." In the study of literature, however, the term modern also connotes the more technical literary movements of modernism and postmodernism. In this course we will honor both the OED definition and the more technical use of the term modern in the study of literature. To do so, students will read award-winning and highly acclaimed works of contemporary literature, that is, literature published in the last 5 years. Students will situate these works in relation to the history of modernist and postmodernist literatures. Students will also consider relevant social, political, and philosophical concepts and developments through the 20th and 21st centuries to the present.
