- Contents
- This course engages with US-American Realist programmatics on a historic scale, tracing it from its nineteenth century beginnings to contemporary engagements with fictional narrative.
Class reading will consist of a combination of theoretical writing and fiction (and thus requires a willingness to engage in theoretical debate – if your eyes have glazed over at this point, this class is not for you!). Reaching from Roth and Barthes in the 1960s to Carver, DeLillo, David Foster Wallace, and Alice Munroe, as well as O’Nan, Colson Whitehead and Jennifer Egan, our discussion will tackle questions of narrative and verisimilitude, referentiality and the function of fiction, and the historic faultlines that shape debates over “hysterical realism,” “digimodernism,” or “new sincerity.”
- Recommended literature
- Please acquire and read in advance: Don DeLillo Point Omega, Stewart O’Nan The Odds, and Colson Whitehead The Nickel Boys. A list of additional texts will be published on StudOn.
