The Short Course: Readings in 20th-Century Fiction
RUSS212 SP

Crosslistings: REES212

Linked Course: RUSS206

Supplementary to RUSS 206, this course should ideally be taken concomitantly with it, since the readings will be excerpts from RUSS 206 to be done in Russian. Designed for Russian majors to do advanced work with the texts they read in RUSS 206, the discussion will focus on close stylistic analysis.

MAJOR READINGS

Bely, PETERSBURG
Zamyatin, WE
Olesha, ENVY
Solzhenitsyn, A DAY IN THE LIFE OF IVAN DENISOVICH
Bulgakov, MASTER AND MARGARITA
Sokolov, SCHOOL FOR FOOLS
