Students should purchase or consult at VIU the complete texts by Coetzee and Spiegelman. All other material for this course will be available either in a coursepack or through a direct download from VIU website. Students are especially encouraged to read J. M. Coetzee's novel, Disgrace, before arrival in Venice. It would also be helpful if students could bring with them to Venice a copy of Maus (Volume 1), in whatever language they can find it. - J. M.
