Academic Year 2005/2006
Readings in the Novel
ENGL 216 SP
In survey courses on the contemporary novel, the works of major authors are often sampled, but their longer, more demanding works are necessarily overlooked. This half course will enable students to read such novels and
to develop a better sense of why and how they continue to matter.
MAJOR READINGS
This year, the novelist is Thomas Pynchon. Usually, in survey courses, his short work, THE CRYING OF LOT 49, is read. We will read the longer, later work, GRAVITY'S RAINBOW.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Frequent short papers, one longer final paper.
