Abstract:

There are a number of goals for this course. By the end of the semester, it is my hope that you will:
* Gain comfort in reading difficult fictional narratives with a careful attention to detail, narrative technique, intertext, and context;
* Reflect on how you read literature and share these reflections with the class;
* Learn to engage in a critical dialogue with your peers and with the scholarship in the field;
* Develop research skills applicable to the study of literature;
* Be able to articulate significant, researchable questions about the works and their literary and historical contexts.
In addition, the primary goal of the course is to help you gain a better understanding of the works of Samuel Beckett, Jorge Luis Borges, and Vladimir Nabokov.
