Guest Lecture "Makeshift Images: Writing the American South" (Prof. Jon Pineda, College of William & Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia)

Veranstalter: Professur für Amerikanistik

Prof. Pineda will read from his latest novel Let’s No One Get Hurt (published by FSG/Farrar, Straus and Giroux), “a coming-of-age story set equally between real-world issues of race and socioeconomics, and a magical, Huck Finn-esque universe of community and exploration.” He will also discuss contemporary American fiction, in the context of writing about the American South, and the challenges many writers face when creating narratives at the intersection of disparate literal and figurative landscapes comprising the region.
