Deans’ Lecture: All of the Good Metaphors for a Title were Taken: The Great Plains and/in Fiction

Larry Schwartz, Instructional Resources, presents a Deans’ Lecture on “All of the Good Metaphors for a Title were Taken: The Great Plains and/in Fiction” at 3:00 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 17 in the Comstock Memorial Union 203.

The body of Great Plains and Canadian prairie fiction is large but, outside of a number of acknowledged classics, not widely known – much like the region itself. This lecture will survey some of the known and some of the unknown works that typify the Plains. All are welcome to attend.
