Students investigate works of Canadian fiction,
focussing on both the literature and on the political and historical context of
its writing, questioning what it means to be a part/or not a part of what is
known as CanLit. We explore how the literature that Canada produces affects
Canadians, and whether or not it effectively (and accurately) reflects who we
are. Authors whose works we look at may include Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, David
Bergen, Miriam Toews, Nick Mount, Alex Good, Katherena Vermette, Maria Campbell,
Duncan Campbell Scott, Thomas King, and David Chariandy.
