Learning how to critically interpret the American postmodern short story and write a coherent literary analysis.
According to Robert Coover, an encounter with narrative not only involves a critical analysis of its fictionality, it also necessitates the recognition that: ‘If storytelling is central to the human experience, stories about storytelling, or stories which talk about themselves as stories, become central, too’. In the works of Coover, this concept often plays out in novels that are painfully aware of their own fictional nature, in parody that cannibalizes its own species, and in stories – such as those collected in Pricksongs & Descants (1969) – which actually appear bent on causing lasting damage to the metaphors and narrative mechanisms being used by the author. This course will investigate these metaphors and mechanisms by looking carefully at a selection of stories from Coover’s Pricksongs & Descants.
