CMPL 369 - Contemporary Central and East European Novel

3HU New Course Added 10/25/2006

Second Semester. This course examines novels of the former “Eastern Bloc” from the late 1980s into the period of post-Communist transition after 1989. It covers the nations of the expanded EU (including the Czech and Slovak Republics, Hungary, and Poland, as well as new members Bulgaria and Romania), and Turkey, another potential member struggling with “European” identity. In addition to such novelists as Kundera and Pamuk, we will read Western, as well as Central/East European, theorists such as Lukacs and Bakhtin.
