LALC 390 Verdades y mentiras
Cross-listed with SPAN 410-01.
Many novelists have been drawn to journalism and vice versa. This course explores that dynamic in a contemporary context. We live in a time of “fake news”, “deep fakes” and much debate about the relationship between fiction and reality. Our work in this course will afford insights into how the debate is developing in the Spanish-speaking world. Along the way we will read some great literature, including works by Gabriel García Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, Soledad Puértolas, Rosa Montero and Antonio Soler, among others.
