Faulkner and Morrison: Fictions of Identity, Family, and History

Faulkner and Morrison: Fictions of Identity, Family, and History is a Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies class taught by L. Brown Kennedy and Jeannette Lee.

Course Description
Our purpose in this class will not be narrowly comparative but rather to read intensively and extensively in each of these master practitioners of the modern novel, thinking particularly about how they each frame issues of personal identity, think about family, history and memory, and confront the American twentieth century dilemma of 'the color line'.
