His big thing is Aldous Huxley and Brave New World. He helps publish some sort of journal or something associated with Huxley. Has had contact with Huxley's widow, etc. The whole nine yards.
For that class, we read Brave New World, William Morris's News from Nowhere, Marge Piercy's He, She, and It, DH Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover?? I think.. it's all so hazy lol.. Dickens' Hard Times .. and maybe one more, but it's not coming to me. He also thought about teaching the Tempest in that class as well. All dystopic, except News From Nowhere, which was so boring he stopped teaching it halfway through the book. haha. :)
Lots of discussion on Malthus, Adam Smith, etc.. especially coming up in Dickens' character names. And some separate articles, which I really would not recollect right now. But yea, lots of fun. :)
