Wednesday Evenings January 28th, February 4th, 11th and 18th 6-8pm (ZOOM)
So much depends on dinner, and in literature, drama takes a seat at the table among the forks and spoons. Food in fiction, non-fiction, and poetry serves forth a banquet for the senses. Of course, food also acts as metaphor for desire, control, creativity, and revenge. Who can forget the lustful dining in Richard Lester’s film, Tom Jones, or the curious method a wife uses to win back her husband’s attention in The Phantom Thread?
In this class, we will read a range of writers who address food and eating, and explore the symbols and metaphors used in their works through their language, perspective, and style. with instructor, Emerson College professor Indira Ganesan.
