Gombrowicz en la Universidad, parte 4

Si andan por Estados Unidos y les cabe Nabokov, no dejen de pasar por la Universidad de Connecticut, en New London, y anotarse en este curso witoldiano que da Andrea Lanoux:

COURSE DESCRIPTION: The course covers the most acclaimed and influential novels of Vladimir Nabokov, along with the seminal works of his Polish contemporary, Witold Gombrowicz. As artists, Nabokov and Gombrowicz were always experimental, creating literary works whose formal innovations bridge the gap between modernism and postmodernism. As thinkers, they were remarkably consistent, reiterating throughout their careers core sets of concepts and values about literature, art and life. But as Gombrowicz maintains, ideas cannot exist in a vacuum; they have meaning only in relation to other ideas. The depth of Nabokov’s and Gombrowicz’s views becomes evident through their contrast. As émigré writers, both Nabokov and Gombrowicz were highly conscious of their respective (Russian and Polish) literary heritages and their own place in–and outside of–those literary traditions. Topics to be covered include emigration, bilingualism, national literary traditions, existentialism, and autobiography.
