We will read - and create - a range of examples of the form, from biography to memoir, from history to journalism. Through our readings and exercises, we will discuss the uniquely powerful ways comics connect with readers, and the different ways the comics form allows for the treatment of "truth." We'll unpack the "comics process" and devote class time to various brainstorming and collaborative exercises that have been proven useful in producing strong comics work. Early in the semester you will formulate a nonfiction comics project which you will work on throughout the term, according to an individual plan. Please bring writing and drawing materials - whichever ones you're most comfortable with. Readings for the course include comics by Scott McCloud, Matt Madden, Alison Bechdel, Art Spiegelman, Marjane Satrapi, G.B. Tran, Raina Telgemeier, Joe Sacco, Harvey Pekar, Tom Hart, Craig Thompson, Dan Archer, Guibert & Lefevre, and others.

Dear Student, Happy New Year! There are seats available in ENG 305. The course information is below. Register while you still can! Sincerely, The English Department Klapper 607 718-997-4600 [like_us_on_facebook]<https://www.facebook.com/QCENGL> ENG 305-01(38980) M/W 1:40pm-2:55pm, RA 112: Tytell Studies in Literature and Culture This course will focus on the Beat tradition. Many of the profound cultural antagonisms that so debilitate us now began after WWII and the Beats were like kindling for the fires that ensued. We will study major works of poetry and fiction by Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs, while situating their work within a broader antecedent tradition that includes Whitman, Pound and Henry Miller with an emphasis on historical and political factors.
