Dear all,
Just a quick note to say that the required (as well as suggested and optional) books for the course are now listed on the "Textbooks & readings folder" page.
(Please note that the suggested and optional books are truly thus, and from them the most relevant chapters will be made available as PDFs: the books are listed in case they are of interest enough to be purchased.)
If anyone will be staging their purchases over weeks or months, the old syllabus shows when we'll read each of those books except Valente's Radiance, which will come at the end of the final full unit, on alternative histories.
In that connection, for now finally, I'll be updating the old syllabus before long, obviously before the semester begins and hopefully before too far into January.
