Novel expectations to novel evaluations.
Abstract
Teaching "popular" novels--ones about which movies and television shows proliferate--offers a unique classroom opportunity: to probe the power of readers' expectations over their interpretations of novels. Using this as a guiding issue for an introductory literature course, I created a class that moved students to explore genre and to question what readers really ask of novels and novelists. This essay examines the steps I asked students to take to meaningfully answer "what do I ask of works of fiction?"
