Creative Writing 252E · Contemporary Literary
Adolescence · Winter 2010

                          

A Course Description: This course will be dedicated
to examination of portrayals of adolescence in
contemporary, character-driven, Western literature. 
This exploration will take place through discussion
and analysis of how character and story are revealed
through various points of view, various forms of
narrative, and a variety of writing styles. 
Readings may confirm, challenge, and complicate our
expectations of the modern adolescent as the subject
of the story.  Please note that this course will not
examine young-adult or children's literature, though
works from these genres may surface in one form or
another over the course of the quarter.
