THIS COURSE IS TAUGHT AT MILLS CAMPUS



This course is a survey of the most influential 20th-century writers of short fiction from Spanish America (e.g., Borges, Cortázar, García Márquez, Rulfo). The short stories read will serve as a basis for both textual analysis and the consideration of the historical and social context in which the cuentos were produced.



In addition to the required texts, other material will be supplied in electronic format.
