Notes Towards Day 19 (Tues, Nov. 13): Political Silence  Anne
Dalke's picture  I.  coursekeeping HSBurke will structure our
silence Hummingbird is up for Thursday, when we will begin
discussing our only novel: Eva's Man (Sweeney wrote about this
in Reading is My Window)-- try to read it all?! (short: 186 pp.
--and gripping....)  as you read it, use as a lens the material
we'll be discussing today, about "political" silencing: what
silences Eva? are her silences chosen or self-imposed? (does
that distinction make sense to you?)  we will also spend some
time talking about how we made sense of this text as readers:
were we silenced or brought into speech by it? how did we
negotiate and interpret what we were reading?  *sign up:
