- Class Description:
- In this seminar, we will read novels (and a few short stories) by writers concerned with politics and the political. What makes fiction political? Can writers incorporate history, research, and political and moral stances into creative work without sounding didactic or pedantic? What makes a novel political and not merely historical? The class will also incorporate the option of workshop; logistics for this will depend somewhat on the number of people in the class. Reading may include Chimamanda Adichie, Chinua Achebe, Han Kang, James McPherson, Arundhati Roy, Robert Penn Warren, James Baldwin, James McBride, Amy Waldman, Mohsin Hamid, Dana Spiotta, Horacio Castellanos Moya, Isabel Allende, Rohinton Mistry, and Nadine Gordimer.
