Dear Currently Enrolled MFAs,

Please see this note from Susan about her Spring seminar:


> Dear Andrew,
> Could you forward this to all the grad students?  I wanted 
> them to know about Stories as Collections, which I'm 
> teaching this Spring Tu and Th 11:10-12:30.
> We'll be looking at how collections can be merely a 
> gathering of short fiction, a linked collection, or nearly a 
> novel.  For the individual stories, we'll be looking at how 
> some stories are entire fictional worlds, while others may 
> be "idea" stories, which explore a popular subject.
> We'll be reading six or seven of the books listed below, 
> once Imagine That lets me know which paperbacks are easiest 
> to order:
> After the Plague - TC Boyle
> The Hill Bachelors - William Trevor
> Bloodline - Ernest Gaines Jr.
> May We Borrow Your Husband? - Graham Greene
> Drown - Junot Diaz
> Love Medicine - Louise Erdrich
> A Good Man is Hard to Find - Flannery O'Connor
> Twenty Grand - Rebecca Curtis
> 
> Thanks, Andrew.
> Susan Straight
