For Tuesday, we’ll talk about Jeff VanderMeer’s novella – – The Strange Bird.  Have a peek at the video above on “broken places.”  This piece from The New Yorker might also offer some helpful background to the novella and to VanderMeer’s take on the post-apocalyptic genre.

Use this week to polish and buff your Wikipedia page – – responding to feedback, adding links, inserting images, etc.  You’ll want to complete your reflective essay on the Wikipedia project by midnight, Wednesday, May 5.  You can send it to me (profhanley@gmail.com) as a shared Google doc.
