The explosion of American writing after 1950
The course will provide the students with basic orientation in the various streams of postwar prose and poetry, from the confessional mainstream novel through the Beats to experimental prose and postmodern writing. The diversity of styles in this period corresponds to the increasingly complex picture of the American society and reflects its complexity. Listed are the authors samples of whose writing will be read in the class.
