The English Literature Club: This Friday!

The Hungry Reader at the Feast:

Model Writers, Model Readers.

Or, Which Fork Do I Use With Hemingway?

--Matt Duckworth

Friday, December 2, 1:30-2:30 p.m. in Batmale 349.

This talk is meant as a tour, of sorts, as a modeling of and reflecting upon dynamic literary exchanges from the perspective of an avid lifelong reader.

I'll be looking into work by Ernest Hemingway (A Moveable Feast!), Richard Ford (including Ford on Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Faulkner), William Hazlitt (quoting Coleridge on WW and STC), John Fowles, Richard Holmes (on Shelley and Byron's marksmanship and on literary biography as pursuit), Barry Lopez, Rebecca Solnit, Virginia Woolf, and others, as needed.

I will have handouts. There will probably be coffee and treats.

Please tell your students. Please attend, if this seems intriguing.

Thank you.
