ENG 675 Literary New Orleans
The city of New Orleans has long been the inspiration for writers and the setting for their works. This course explores great works of fiction spiced with the flavor of the Crescent City, written by literary giants—including Tennessee Williams, William Faulkner, Kate Chopin, and Walker Percy—as well as contemporary writers like Anne Rice, John Biguenet, Sheila Bosworth, and Chris Wiltz. This course is offered during the Spring semester to allow students to attend the annual Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival.
