In this seminar, perennially popular instructor James Kraft guides discussion of some of the most enduring novels from the war’s era or aftermath. Authors to be covered will include Erich Maria Remarque (pictured), e.e. cummings, Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, and Virginia Woolf. Copies of the recommended editions will be available for registrants to purchase.
