Spring. 4 credits. Student option grading.

K. Attell.

Some of the best novels of the last 70 years were written by people who were students or professors at Cornell. Reading a selection of these great Cornell novels, we will also be tracing the history and development of post-WWII American fiction. Readings will include classic works by V. Nabokov, T. Pynchon, W. Gass, J. Russ and T. Morrison, as well as several more recent (some very recent) works by your fellow Cornellians. Perhaps in a few years your work will be on the list.
