Fall 2021: EN 201 - A1 (Bennett) -- "Contemporary Fiction's Otherworldly Glow"
In this course, as we work to develop improved writing skills, our readings will take us to Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America, regions more culturally different than we may imagine. Our close reading, however, will reinforce the universality of the human condition, as we examine issues of race, class, gender, and ethnicity. We will encounter postcolonialism, war, love, and political intrigue in three twenty-first century novels: Hala Alyan's Salt Houses, Taiye Selasi's Ghana Must Go, and Luis Alberto Urrea's The House of Broken Angels.
