"Precarious Realism" will coincide with AC's annual Creative Mind Lecture, which in 2024 will be headlined by George Saunders, winner of the 2017 Booker Prize, and fellowships from the MacArthur Foundation, the Guggenheim Foundation, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In class we will discuss Saunders' short stories--one a week--and look at their place in contemporary fiction. Saunders stories often take bizarre looks at what may be our current society or maybe a world 15 minutes or 7 years in the future. He writes in the tradition of Kurt Vonnegut and Donald Barthelme, creating weird worlds that are uncomfortably close to our own. Saunders will hold a Q&A with members of our class the day of his Creative Mind Lecture. For additional information please call (806)371-2920.
