    Cecilia Mancuso [email protected] Office: One Bow Street #340 Office Hours: TBD and by appointment – please visit cecimancuso.youcanbook.me Contemporary Science Fiction and Critical Theory [COURSE DESCRIPTION] Science fiction (sf) has often been defined as a “literature of ideas” – everything from a vector for hard scientific knowledge to a soft-science thought experiment. But which “ideas” is sf particularly good at communicating, and why those ideas? In this course, students will familiarize themselves with a number of theoretical and literary-critical approaches to the study of literature through the lens of contemporary science fiction and its principal genres (dystopia, cyberpunk, space opera, afrofuturism, and hard sf). This course also takes a multimedia approach to sf as a genre, including novels, short stories, TV, and video games as primary texts. Students will leave the tutorial with a 20-25 page research-based junior essay which engages substantively with literary theory and a working methodology for how to approach producing extended-length scholarly papers.

  • Praying Is Believing
    Praying is believing Stephen King has a new one — “The Outsider” (Simon & Schuster, $30). I’ll take it. We’ve been together a long time. I wasn’t with him when he was peddling stories to men’s magazines back in the early 1970s. But I found him quick when “Carrie” (Penguin Random House, $9.99), his first book of scary fiction, came out in 1974. He had been only a year ahead of me at our respective New England colleges, and I’ve been with him ever since. He developed a reputation as a horror writer early, and “Salem’s Lot” (Penguin Random House, $16), a re-telling of the Dracula story, is probably one of the classics of harum-scarum in American fiction. But I don’t like to pigeonhole him. “The Shining” (Penguin Random House, $16.95) and“The Stand” (Penguin Random House, $17) are classics in American fiction. Period. He wrote all three in his 20s. If I didn’t enjoy them so much I would have been horribly jealous. Sure, he’s had a clunker or two — “Gerald’s Game” (Simon & Schuster, $17) was not my cup of tea. But then there is “The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon” (Simon & Schuster, $17), which I consider an absolutely beautiful story. King is not Catholic. He was born and raised Methodist and is identified as such today. But “The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon” is so thoroughly Catholic in spirit that I’d swear he swam the Tiber. A warning to readers: A gruesome murder and tough language are integral to “The Outsider.” Those who read King know what to expect.

Robert is determined that this will be the final party. But for both him and Kate, it may also become the most important gathering of all.
