ENG 308 CONTEMPORARY CONRAD

Modernist author Joseph Conrad's concerns - from migrancy to terrorism to a moral reckoning with racial history - continue to haunt literature. The course considers "Conradian" themes in J.M. Coetzee, Amitav Ghosh, W.G. Sebald, and Tom McCarthy - contemporary novelists influenced by Conrad - to interpret a century of upheavals across various borders.
