Seminar
SoSe 19: Recent Fiction
Ulla Haselstein
Comments
It is difficult to assess the literary and cultural changes of the present. One way to do it is by looking at the production of fiction and taking stock of its dominant, its emergent and its residual features. The material of inquiry will be both the texts themselves and their recpetion by reviewers, critics, talkshow hosts. A conceptualization of the current literary market will be essential, as will be an awareness of the history of the novel. In making the following selection of texts, I have tried to produce an overview of current market segments. In the first session of the seminar, participants will be invited to make further suggestions and give reasons for doing so. WARNING: this seminar will mean a lot of reading.
Danzy Senna, New People
Colson Whitehead, The Underground Railroad
Maggie Nelson, Bluets
