Prerequisite: ENGL 1301 and 1302.
Revised 3-31-05. In this section of Introduction to Fiction we will consider various formal features of short and long fiction: point of view, characterization, plot, setting, and so on. We will pay special attention to experiments in form. What happens to the implied ‘contract’ between writer and reader when short stories and novels push fictional boundaries, employ shifting perspectives or are delivered by unreliable narrators? We most likely will begin with a nineteenth-century novel, probably Charlotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre,” coupled with a twentieth-century re-writing: “Wide Sargasso Sea.” We will move to several stories that employ a range of narrative perspectives (included in an anthology, “Points of View,” and then return to novels, most likely Art Speigelman’s “Maus,” and Elie Weisel’s “Night.” Before the end of the semester we’ll cover more short fiction and another pair of novels that reflect very contemporary revisions of the genre. Students will complete many short response papers, at least three mid-length essays (somewhere in the 5-7 pp. range) and one longer essay. We most likely will make use of TOPIC or Web-CT; students will engage in peer-review of fellow students’ writing and participate in an on-going written dialogue about class assignments. Expect frequent reading quizzes, a mid-term and final. Attendance is an important component of this primarily-discussion-based class. I will start counting absences from the day a student registers for the class. vMore than two absences will lower a student’s course grade.
Texts: In addition to the texts named above, we will read at least two more novels. Expect a total of six novels and many, many short stories.

Introduction to Fiction
“’The Truth About Stories’: Journeys through Time and Place”
TR 9:30-10:50AM
Karen Clark
Prerequisite: ENGL 1301 and 1302.
Thomas King asserts that “the truth about stories is that that’s all we are.” The Anishinabe writer Gerald Vizenor reminds us that “you can’t understand the world without telling a story.” And Leslie Marmon Silko maintains that stories “aren’t just entertainment./Don’t be fooled./ …You don’t have anything,/if you don’t have the stories.”
This course will introduce students to a variety of stories, in a variety of forms (the novel, the fable, the short story), from a variety of times, places, and cultures. For instance, we will consider stories of madness and love told by women of the Victorian period, both in England and the USA. We will explore stories of silence and oppression, as told by a contemporary South African writer as he “writes back”

and oppression, as told by a contemporary South African writer as he “writes back” to the nineteenth-century classic story of Robinson Crusoe. We will experience stories that try to come to terms with the horrors of the twentieth-century, especially those of World War II, and we will examine the ways in which WWII asks us to reconsider the types of stories we tell. We will also encounter an Haida/Haisla story of loss, transformation, and shapeshifters, taking place on the Pacific Northwest Coast. We will even have the opportunity to read stories told by authors who are teaching right here at Texas Tech. From a variety of perspectives, then, fiction will allow us to journey through many worlds and our journeys through this material should ultimately reveal the importance of stories—sometimes entertaining, sometimes dangerous—as they engage with the political, personal and social spheres which we inhabit.
Work required of students: Active and engaged class participation, inksheds, reading quizzes and attendance form the daily work of this course. Formal writing assignments include two short response papers, and a longer analytical paper. There will also be a short oral presentation, a mid-term examination, and a final examination.
Attendance Policy: Three absences are allowed without penalty. Each subsequent absence will reduce a final grade by 5 percentage points. Excessive absences—more than 6 in total—may result in failure of the course, regardless of other grades earned. Absences accrue from the first day of class.

Bock, Dennis. The Ash Garden. Mariner Books, 2002.
Bronte, Charlotte. Jane Eyre. 1847. Penguin Classics, 2003.

The course will cover a range of fiction, in content and in styles. We will begin by exploring the nature of prose fiction: its elements and techniques. We will seek ways of correlating stylistics and thematics. The general objective of this course is to acquire some of the basic skills on how to read and write about fiction. In the first couple of weeks, the course will help equip students with tools necessary for a close and critical reading of short stories and novels Students will learn to observe some

and critical reading of short stories and novels. Students will learn to observe some of the formal elements of the genre of prose fiction such as setting, event, plot, character, theme, narrator, point of view, etc., and use them in their reading and writing of fiction. Toward the middle of the semester, students will learn and demonstrate the skill of interconnecting the features and use them for analytical purposes. For example, in our discussion of characterization as well as theme, we will discuss the issue of identity, particularly how it runs through several texts. This example will give us some idea about sketching a tie between two or more texts with relation to other issues. At the end, students, as active readers, will exhibit how, just by picking up one or more formal elements and by way of interpreting certain passages with reference to social and cultural issues, they can draw similarities and differences among two or more works of fiction and arrive at a meaningful conclusion.
Students will write 5 short response papers. There will be in-class and out-of-class assignments. The length of these short response papers will be 1-2 pages. Of the two analytical papers, you will turn in the first one at the end of the 1st month and the second at the end of the 2nd month. In the first paper, you will analyze one or more stories, and, in the second, you will analyze a novel. Each analytical paper is expected to be about 5-6 pages (double spaced). You could base your term paper (7-8 pages) on the 2nd analytical paper, but you must include another novel or two or more stories of your choice from the reading list. The skills that you have learned in the course should guide your term paper. Except the short response papers, all papers must pass through peer and instructor reviews at least at its two developmental phases before developing it into a final draft. The term paper is due one week before your final exam. The final exam will be a combination of objective and essay type questions. This course does not require library research. All students are required to attend all of the classes offered. An unexcused absence will affect your grade allocated for Attendance and Participation by 5%. Under any circumstances, students will not be excused for more than 3 absences. More than 6 absences will result in grade “F.” The counting of the attendance begins from the first class.

“Well, then, is the American, this new man?” asks J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur, the author of Letters from an American Farmer (1782). That same question had been posed in various ways ever since the discovery of the new world, a place that to the European mind was, as William Carlos Williams would put it many years later, “beyond the sphere of all things known to history.” In some senses, Americans – whether Native Americans, African Americans, or European newcomers – have had to invent their answers to that question through the stories they have told of themselves and each other and their experience of this place. In indigenous creation stories, in tales of discovery and exploration, in histories of settlements and towns, in letters sent back across the Atlantic, in autobiographies and records of personal experience, in the narratives of fugitive slaves, we have collectively given shape and form to the cultural identity of Americans. This course will be devoted to readings from this rich body of American non-fiction, covering a variety of texts that will range from the late 15th century up through the period of the Civil War.

Prerequisite: ENGL 1301 and 1302.
“Easy reading is damn hard writing” – Nathaniel Hawthorne. This course will serve as an introduction into the art of writing, concentrating primarily on the genres of fiction and non-fiction. We will be looking at texts, not in terms of their literary significance, but instead in terms of their mechanics, i.e., What makes one story work over another? How does each author create plot, setting, characterization, etc.? In addition to course readings, a series of writing assignments will also be required. Possible writing assignments may include composing original short works of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, as well as book reviews.
Reading List:
Goat - Brad Land
Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen – Alix Kates Shulman
Identity – Milan Kundera
The Roald Dahl Omnibus – Roald Dahl
Mystery of Manners – Flannery O’Connor
The Complete Stories – Flannery O’Connor
