TARGET: SEC: 20th Century Novel Class

["J'aime Foust" <jfoust@MUM.NERIC.ORG>]

An English teacher will be teaching a one-semester class entitled "20th Century
Novel" and would like suggestions on good modern novels.  I suggested that,
looking at the past curriculum content, she may want to branch out and do more
multi-cultural literature.  On the list now are things like Cuckoo's Nest,
Catch-22 and dead white men writers.  I thought of people like Toni Morrison,
Barbara Kingsolver, Amy Tan; a choice of Latin-American (Allende, Garcia-Marquez,
Esquivel).

In addition to reading specific novels, she is going to have them do independent
research on an author and his/her works.  Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated!  Authors, titles, reasons why - anything.  TIA.  I'll post a hit if
I get a good response.
