Full Version: Language And Literature 1983-1997
I am searching for the novels/plays (larger works) used by USAD in the early going - my students are interested in knowing what previous novels were used, and ADSIC only goes back to 1998, and 2001's info is missing. If anyone out there can help, I'd be very thankful.
Wasn't there a list here somewhere? Or was it the old board? Try searching around.
How about that... of all places, Wikipedia has my answer. Go figure. :-) Thanks, madcap.
The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro was a novel during the '90's. I don't remember precisely when.

'99, Gear, my junior year
.I know '91 one of the major works was the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey", as I was talking with Jackson about past topics today. That one isn't on the wiki yet.
It's really cool how this old info is getting collected and archived.
I'm hard pressed to recall exactly how it broke out year by year, but in 1990 and 1991 we covered these works that I can remember:
The Great Gatsby
The Sound and the Fury
I think those were probably both 1990.
Nova, by Samual Delany (science fiction, surely it was 1991)
"Vaster Than Empires and More Slow", by Ursula K Leguin (a short selection poem, surely also in 1991)
the movie, as Greg mentioned, in 1991 (pretty cool, huh, a movie? they should do that more often...at least, I'm pretty sure it was the movie...yeah, probably, because they included John Williams' soundtrack stuff in the Fine Arts category that year)
I want to say that Death Comes for the Archbishop was in there somewhere, too, but I may be mistaken. There was definitely something Cather. USAD seems to really like Cather, and O'Keefe.

Death Comes for the Archbishop was the Lewis and Clark year unless they used it a second time before I was around in 97
I remember seeing the old list and noticing that they used it several times.
It would help if I was more organized; I will try to find some stuff crammed into old boxes. I originally kept one copy of everything we've ever studied, but after 20 years of coaching the stuff is packed into various boxes all over school and home. I don't have much time to remember the past, because as soon as State is over with every year we start getting ready for the next year the very next day. No rest for the weary.
My first year coaching was the Nova novel. Wow; what a long time ago. I remember we read a book by Rachel Carson; I think it was Silent Spring.
