DNY 1000 Discover New York
Literary New York – 70607
This course is an exploration of New York City through a literary
lens. Many great works of prose and poetry have been written in and
about the city, so that the goal of this course is to use
literature as a means of understanding and critiquing our
surroundings. To this end we will look at a diverse group of
selected works that expose the dynamics of the city’s cultural past
and present, including socioeconomics, race, and gender. We will
supplement some of the readings with other artistic products to
examine how successful these translations are in depicting New York
City.
