CONTEMPORARY FICTION

In the next week, we are going to be reading three contemporary authors: Julie Orringer, Alice Elliott Dark, and Frank Turner Hollon. Follow the schedule below.

Due Monday, March 7: Read and post in the discussion forum on this page for "The Isabel Fish" by Julie Orringer. You should be explicating for literary elements as you read so you can include them in your discussion. You need to have posted BEFORE you come to class.

Due Tuesday, March 8: Read and post in the discussion forum on this page for "In the Gloaming" by Alice Elliott Dark. Again, you should be explicating for literary elements as you read so you can include them in your discussion. You need to have posted BY THE END OF THE PERIOD.

Due Thursday, March 10: Read all vignettes in the handout from //The God File// by Frank Turner Hollon (BE SURE TO READ THE EXCERPT ON THE FRONT OF THE HANDOUT SO YOU UNDERSTAND THE PREMISE OF THE NOVEL). Again, you should be explicating for literary elements as you read so you can include them in your discussion.
