LIT 371 - Seminar in American Literature (4 Cr.)

(GCR Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies area)

The Whale. Several years ago the New York Times Book Review surveyed readers about the book they most regret not having read. The number one answer? Moby-Dick. Avoid their terrible fate and read Moby-Dick, the true story it was inspired by, and the works it inspired in turn, including satires (Mad Magazine’s “Call me Fish-Smell”), films, and a techno-opera. Open to all juniors and seniors. Pre- or corequisite: LIT 200. Fall semester. Marchand.
