Course description
The Seminar will attempt a reading of three major fiction writers born in the South of the U.S.A. We will try to search for common denominators, as well as highlight the unique poetics of each of these writers. Is "the South" "Gothic"? Is writing far from the intellectual center of New York an asset in terms of originality and creativity, or is it a liability? Beyond the poetic special fingerprint of each of these writers, can we discern a common "burden"?
