In this seminar we shall read and discuss German novellas and short stories written during the first three quarters of the 20th century. The German short story is a later development and has played its principal role in the past sixty years. The German, Austrian, and Swiss practitioners of these forms include many of the greatest names in the canon. All participants will be expected to join in the discussion of all works studied.
Regular attendance is taken for granted.
A term paper will be due on the last day of classes.
