This week we will experiment with multiplicity. Authors often “stuff” their work to make it more illusive or fantastic, and popular genres like magical realism and hysterical realism, as well as multimodal or hybrid texts, demonstrate this: we have many settings, myriad characters, a wealth of contexts in which to see the same situation. We will delve into the advantages of showing the reader these diverse facets, enjoying some ...examples in the work of Jorge Luis Borges, Robert Coover, John Dos Passos, and others. An optional writing exercise will be assigned.
