My 20th Century, Fall 2014: Woolf, Frame, & Dunn
In this class we will consider the works of Virginia Woolf (UK, 1882-1941), Janet Frame (NZ, 1924-2004), and Katherine Dunn (US, 1945-) as a scaffolding via which to understand some traditions of fiction in English over the course of the twentieth century. We will consider the density and magic resident in their prose, the resonances amidst their subjects, styles, and themes, and the ways in which their works carry histories forward.
"dig out some of that candy" -- K. Dunn, Truck (1971)
Class meets online Tues/Thurs, with further potential drop-in conversation in between, September 23 - December 18. All readings and all forms of response are suggested rather than required. Cost $325.
