Many of America’s great writers lived in, wrote about, or were inspired by New York. This interdisciplinary class explores work by writers like Washington Irving, Toni Morrison, James Baldwin, Miguel Piñero, Chang-Rae Lee, Langston Hughes, Piri Thomas, Edith Wharton, Eric Gansworth (Onandaga), Miguel Algarín, Colson Whitehead, Audre Lorde, Herman Melville, Jay McInerny, and Robyn Wall Kimmerer (Potawatami). We will learn about the sights and soundtracks, the history, the art, and the urban geography that influenced writers as we explore how their work reflects, represents, and emerges out of this literary metropolis. New York is more than just The City. Toni Morrison, for example, lived all over the state and taught at SUNY-Albany. New York literature includes new genres like Spoken Word as well as ancient media and literatures, like wampum and the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Great Law of Peace. In addition to the writers on the syllabus, students will do an independent research project exploring the work of the many other wonderful New York writers that can’t fit into one semester, from Walt Whitman to Gary Shteyngart.
