Fiction to Film: In this class we will watch several films and read the novels or stories they are based on. We will consider the differences between cinematic and textual narrative and focus on the techniques employed in both forms to achieve emotional impact and thematic clarity. Possible novels & their adaptations that will be studied: James Baldwin's If Beale Street Could Talk, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Half a Yellow Sun, Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men, Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep, Kevin Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians. This list, however, is provisional & likely to change.

After the first week of the semester, permission of the instructor will be required in order to register for this course.
