Studies in American Literature: Chicago Literature
 |
|
Chicago has a rich literary tradition. In addition to covering works by some of the important earlier Chicago writers (Upton Sinclair, James Farrell, Saul Bellow, and Langston Hughes), this course focuses on Chicagoans writing today, including Studs Terkel, Ana Castillo, David Mamet, Tina De Rosa, Stuart Dybek, Ward Just, and Aleksandar Hemon. The course examines how, and if, these writers interact with Chicago as a setting, as an influence, and even as a character in their writing. Readings are drawn from novels, short stories, journalism, non-fiction, plays, and poetry.
