Beginnings - West Side Story, Gypsy and Forum

92nd Street Y @ 1395 Lexington Ave, New York, NY

Reading Cervantes with Edith Grossman

92nd Street Y @ 1395 Lexington Ave, New York, NY

Most of us know Miguel de Cervantes as the author of Don Quixote, but it may come as a surprise that he also wrote short fiction as well as works for the theater. His novellas (called "Novelas ejemplares," or "Exemplary Novels,") are fast-paced and witty, and well may be, as Cervantes claimed, the first novellas written originally in Spanish and not translated from Italian. He wrote twelve; we'll read roughly half that number.  Specific titles...

Reading the Bible with Noam Scheindlin

92nd Street Y @ 1395 Lexington Ave, New York, NY

The Bible's indelible mark on literature is not just in the stories that it tells, but in the way those stories are told. In this class, we read and explore the compelling and subtle narratives of the Bible, which have been so influential on the development of the Western literary tradition. In this secular approach to a sacred text, we will be very interested in the sophisticated psychological portrayals of characters such as Joseph, Moses and...
