A CENTURY OF FICTION: THE NEW YORKER - THE FIRST 50 YEARS (OR SO) (REMOTE)

Get out your monocle and top hat to wish a happy centennial to The New Yorker, our favorite literary periodical! We’ll celebrate by independently reading selections originally published from 1925–1975 in A Century of Fiction in The New Yorker, our required text. Class discussion will focus on the 12–15 stories on the syllabus as well as our collaborative exploration of characteristics that seem to define New Yorker stories. A great course for opinionated readers, thoughtful listeners, and everyone in between. Please note: this course can be taken solo or with its companion, which runs in May.
