Foreign Literature in Translation, 1/12, Period 2

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream sits cross-legged on his desk as students arrive. Once they're present, he begins.

"Good morning. I hope you all had time to read the story you were assigned on Tuesday, "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant. In class today, I would like for you to discuss your reactions to the story with me and with your classmates.

We are going to stay in France for a few classes. As homework for Tuesday's class, I would like for you to read as much of Albert Camus' work "The Stranger" as possible; I'm handing out a synopsis and study guide. The book tells the story of a young man whose emotions are judged "wrong" by society, and is considered a classic of the Existentialist school.

I also have a very tentative syllabus for the term, which will of course be updated and altered as class progresses. I welcome your comments on it as a whole.

Creature Languages follows this class, but I will be in my office this afternoon."

Dream is busy getting ready for Creature Languages, but you could probably catch him if you have questions.
