Osnova
  • Repetition — repetition to the point of perfection — is perhaps the aspect of Forrest Reid that best defines him as a person and as an author. He had but one theme — boyhood — and it came to the surface constantly, irrespective of time or setting. This course will examine that repetition, the ways in which Reid's oeuvre reveals a movement toward his magnum opus, the Tom Barber trilogy. To augment our plot, milieu, thematic, socio-historical, and canonicity considerations, the author's (auto)biographical residues will be brought center-stage, hence the two autobiographies and three biographies of Reid will be thoroughly engaged.
