Readings for Week 12: Short Stories

Dear All,


For Monday, you will need to read Mark Twain's "The Facts Concerning the Recent Carnival of Crime in Connecticut":

And for Wednesday, Charles Chesnutt's "The Goophered Grapevine":

I will also have given you an essay by Henri Bergson called "The Comic in Character" for Monday.  With the digital texts, please either print these out and bring them to class, or take careful notes on them that you can bring to class.

Best,
Jennifer
