This course examines the relationship between music and the 20th- 21st-century novel. How does music influence narrative form? How do texts appropriate musical elements in order to create the illusion of orality and presence? What political and ideological assumptions accompany music in literature? In our discussions, we will also address the status of musical metaphors in literary criticism. Readings will include selections from Abani, Kundera, Carpentier, Cortazar, Morrison, Chamoiseau, Coetzee, Djebar, Bakhtin, Said, Sartre, Huston, Levi-Strauss, Lacoue-Labarthes, and Derrida.
