The course will consist of close readings of a sample of short stories by contemporary English-speaking authors, among whom Janet Frame, Angela Carter, Muriel Spark, Anita Desai, Nadine Gordimer and others. A second part will subsequently focus on Damon Galgut's The Impostor, a novel that will be placed in the context of South African cultural studies with a view to alerting the students to the political implications of some post-colonial literature.
