Titel 3 Minimalism

COURSE TITLE

Minimalism

COURSE OBJECTIVE

This course sets out to identify the so-called "minimalism" in the narrative technique of Ernest Hemingway and Raymond Carver. Special attention will be paid as to how Hemingway's style has influenced Carver's matter-of-factness in his storytelling and, also, how the aimlessness and disillusion in Hemingway's characters seems to be taken even further by Carver through his alcoholic and often neurotic narrators. Finally, it will also be discussed how Hemingway's portrayal of the relations between the sexes takes it shape in Carver's fiction.
