Welcome to Week 2 of our online course. The week’s readings include the very short story “Salvation,” which is an excerpt from Langston Hughes’s memoir The Big Sea. We will also be looking at concepts of irony, which are at play in this story. The second reading will be “Araby,” a dark and soulful coming-of-age story by the renowned Irish writer James Joyce.
