Schedule of Events?

November seems years ago, but this is what I remember i/r/t the calendar we had sketched out for the [fast-]approaching semester:

1/20 to 1/27 -- Crying of Lot 49
1/28 to 2/10 -- Gravity's Rainbow
2/11 to 3/3 -- Vineland

3/4 to 3/13 -- SPRING BREAK

3/14 to 4/10 -- Mason & Dixon
4/11 to 5/3 -- Inherent Vice*

*[includes 6-day Easter Vacation]

The last week of instruction is, according to the calendar on St. John's website, May 4th to 10th, so I figure this time can be used to get my work together and finish the final paper.

I tried to stick to the 1-2-3-4-2 approach in terms of weeks-per-book as we had discussed, but if anything looks superfluous/insufficient, just let me know and I'll revise this. Otherwise, I'll look forward to getting started in a couple weeks.

    Looks good, Matt. In terms of written work, I think we should point toward one large-ish paper at the end, due that final week of classes. We can treat your weekly posting as the shorter writing I usually assign. We can also work out a topic for the final paper as we go.

    Between now & the start of the term I'll be in LA and London, but I'll check in here & on email if you need anything. I'm looking forward to a semester's worth of Pynchon-speak.
