Asian literature. anyone?
(Preface: this is Pepper (:! : Hope we can continue to post on this webbie because I think that given more time, we will be able to come up with more creibible/ substantial souces. Mucho useful for future. That's me - out!)
Salutations, one and all!
Hope you guys had a decent. weekend. Anyway, apologies for being absent for the previous tutorial - hope I am not posting links that are absolutely off-tangent. Dennis please do frankly know if I am, So! I will hang my head in shame and confess to not being that familiar with local/ SEA literature; this might explain my intrigue in this Facebook page set up for the Quarterly Literary Review Singapore (QLRS), available at: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=222301251#%21/pages/Quarterly-Literary-Review-Singapore/108523792123rly-Literary-Review-Singapore/108523792123
In this Facebook section, several editions of the QLRS are made available. Some editions feature works of prominent writers which we, as teachers, could use in classrooms. ie http://www.qlrs.com/issue.asp?id=33 which provides in one succinct issue, a short story by Alfian Sa'at, and two poems by Cyril Wong.
For a more international perspective, I would recommend that hodgepodge of links centralized in the Voice of the Shuttle: http://vos.ucsb.edu/browse.asp?id=3. This website features The Gutenberg Wiki, which allows the students themselves to post wikis on authors and literary works, after Project Gutenberg has censored them.
Also, this website acts as a gateway for students to encounter various genres of e-texts, from 18-Century Literature to Modern British and American Literature. Several other e-texts are also found on Voice of the Shuttle, though it must be said that there are unfortunately many broken links on this site.
