American Literature takes a wide view of literature with study of novels, poetry, plays and short stories, but this class adds in singer/songwriters and films to the list.
The primary texts won’t be found at the ACC bookstore, but you can find them inexpensively elsewhere. They are:
Horesman, Pass By by Larry McMurtry
Pale Horse, Pale Rider by Katherine Anne Porter
The Curious Incident
of the Dog in the Night by Mark Haddon
