LITR 285 - Writing Lives: Gender and Memoir 3 s.h.

This course considers diverse life writings in order to explore the influence of gender, sexuality, and other categories of identity on literary self-representation. We consider forms of memoir ranging from graphic novels to mixed-genre texts, and how they respond to questions such as the relationship between writer and reader; “truth” and narrative authenticity; memory and imagination; the personal and political. A-E Only. Offered every 2-3 years.
