HSPST-314/414 Contemporary Spanish Narrative
The class will study novels, short stories, films, blogs, and other forms of artistic expression produced in Spain during the 20th and the 21st century. We will discuss essays and articles related to these works, primarily concerning the conscious amnesia of many Spaniards regarding the Civil War and Dictatorship of Francisco Franco, and how to move forward and represent new realities in an age of media and new technologies. Among the authors we will read are: Carmen Martín Gaite, Juan Marsé, Ray Loriga, Agustín Fernández Mallo, Javier Cercas, and Eduardo Mendoza.
