Comic book heroes that are both familiar and unrecognizable; lyric “rememories” of Wimbledon triumphs and World Cup defeats; historical anachronisms that never arrive; and an inventive musical take on a Revolutionary story. Our course explores texts that resist definition and through our reading of them considers the relationship between contemporary fiction and the experience of living in the 21st century. Our texts, playfully somber and fantastically real, create a veritable playground of form and style as they encourage thoughtful, critical conversations about modern relationships and realized identities. In addition to a variety of short stories, essays, and poetry, this course will also include a small number of larger works, including BLACK PANTHER: A NATION UNDER OUR FEET; HAMILTON, A CITIZEN; AN AMERICAN LYRIC; and THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD. This course satisfies a core literature/writing requirement for students that began that requirement with an ENGL 201-204 class, counts as an elective for English majors and minors, and counts as an allied requirement for select business majors. It also counts as a WAC Writing to Learn course. Prerequisite: ENGL 201, 202, 203, or 204. For students who are moving to the new core and have completed ENGL 121, please contact the department at english@stthomas.edu for permission to register for this course.
