Lit Club Bi-Annual All-Night Read-A-Thon, Novel Criticism Reading Group

From the Literature Club:

Please remember us this Friday night. We'll be in the Laurel Forum, eating free S'mores over a fire, drinking coffee and tea, curled up in blankets on couches in pajamas, reading a Murakami novel (After Dark) aloud from cover to cover. The bi-annual All-Night Read-A-Thon starts at 8pm.

Also, our esteemed colleague Jacob Riley is forming a discussion group on the topic of novel criticism. There is no set time yet, but he's considering Friday afternoons. Two essays this group will discuss: Northrop Frye's "Anatomy of Criticism" and Wayne C. Booth's "Rhetoric of Fiction." Remember please that a working knowledge of theoretical approaches is absolutely essential for graduate study in English Literature. Please remember that our school rarely incorporates contemporary theory into our curriculum, though we do touch base with Plato and Aristotle.
