For Quarter 1 you need to select a work of "world" fiction to read. By "world" I mean a work by an author from a country other than the United States or the United Kingdom OR with a setting in a country other than the U.S. or the U.K. (this is a world literature class after all). Like the summer assignment, you get to select the title, but you should challenge yourself. See the world literature list for ideas, but you are not limited to the list. Write a brief proposal (about 200 words) explaining the following: 1. Why are you interested in the work? 2. What do you already know about the work, and have you read anything like it before? 3. Include the title and author.
 * World Literature Book** -- Library
 * Assignment**

4. In addition, include the author's nationality OR the location of the setting if your author is from the U.S. or the U.K.
Also: 1. Please do not simply summarize the plot, and don't even dream of a copy and paste from Amazon or the summaries on the world literature list! 2. This needs to be a work that you have not read previously. 3. You will need to obtain a physical copy of the work and bring it to class on a daily basis (if you need to order it, wait until it's approved) 4. Your selected work will be the basis of a project in Quarter 2. See the book list as an additional resource to help you select.
