Prerequisite: ENGL 1158/1159 with C or better. A general introduction to the study and appreciation of fiction.

This course introduces students to the reading and studying of Fiction texts. This special section will focus on American writers who absorbed and incorporated their European experiences in their writings, and European writers who influenced them. We will read selected novels and short stories from writers including Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, Djuna Barnes, Franz Kafka, and James Joyce (among others). Our focus will be on how Americans are forever changed as they engage with and react to life and culture on the European continent. We will also use the backdrop of our European location to find connections to our own European experiences this summer and how they have changed us. Requirements include completion of reading journals, quizzes, a four-page paper and two essay exams.

The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all morning classes and any required afternoon and/or weekend fields trips and lectures. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, LFU students who have to miss a UNO class due to LFU examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused absences will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class.
