Disappointment @ 7:59 PM

Disappointed that the class I signed up for isn't the class I'll be taking. Same time, same place, different instructor, different theme, different book list.

I was so excited to have an English R1B class whose focus is on literature that considers the sanity of accounts of ghost stories where the main characters hear voices and other such enigmatic murmurs.


The topic is now switched to Secrecy and Detection with book list:

Sigmund Freud, Dora: An Analysis of a Case of Hysteria; Harriet Jacobs, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl; Henry James, Turn of the Screw and The Aspern Papers; Herman Melville, Billy Budd and Other Tales. Edgar Allan Poe, The Portable Edgar Allan Poe. Course Reader.

Screenings: Rear Window (dir. Alfred Hitchcock, 1954), Sparrow (dir. Johnnie To, 2008), or possibly other films.



Read any of the above books?
