In this course, you'll delve into post-modern, contemporary, medieval, and ancient forms of writing and literature. With a primary emphasis on present-day/ recent multi-cultural narratives. This course is sort of a cross between an Advanced Great Books class and a creative writing, English 120 class at Yale. Through close readings of both books and short articles and excerpts, we'll explore the dilemmas, resolutions, and hidden nuances in cross- cultural writing worlds. This class aims to provide a diversified repertoire of writers from all different parts of the world and from all different time periods to better understand and evaluate our own individualized narratives in the context of our own circumstances.
