Contents
We are going to analyze half a dozen much-talked-about and highly acclaimed books - all of them published in 2019/20 and written by North American women born in Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Jamaica, and Spain: Margaret Atwood's The Testaments, Jeanine Cummins's American Dirt, Valeria Luiselli's Lost Children Archive, Ann Patchett's The Dutch House, Claudia Rankine's Just Us, and Lisa Taddeo's Three Women. What kinds of books are these? What can we say about them within the frameworks of poetics and hermeneutics? Why are they (considered) great, exceptional, praiseworthy, unputdownable, interesting, important, controversial, ...?
