Stories of Speculation: Fabulism and Narrative Realism

What do moments of upended reality and temporality in literary fiction offer us about the human condition and built environment? From contemporary fairy tale retellings to canonical modernist literature, we will examine novels' engagement with temporality, speculative/magical realism, and fabulism. Texts include Djuna Barnes, Toni Morrison, Nella Larsen, and Han Yujoo. Enrollment limited to 17.
