There is a lot of redundancy in the period, that's for sure. More than anything, the important part is just to talk about the philosophical shift in what type of literature they were trying to create.
That said, I always appreciate something more after I teach it.
Later this semester I'm going to start throwing some crazier shit at them. We'll read
Things Fall Apart, and
The Wasp Factory, which is one of my five favorite novels.
I could have chosen a section from
Ulysses, but I'd sooner overseed my backyard with cultivars from the Alomar genus.
