Dimaline and Vermette
This seminar introduces students to the analytic interpretation of narrative prose within the context of Chinese Canadian fiction. We will spend the first weeks of the term discussing the themes and narrative strategies of Sky Lee’s Disappearing Moon Café (1990) and Wayson Choy’s The Jade Peony (1995). The remainder of the seminar will be dedicated to exploring how Carrianne Leung’s The Wondrous Woo (2013) pays homage to the two foundational texts of Chinese Canadian literature.
