Literature

Amount: $270
Graphic Novels
Looking for a way to add art and literature to the library at the same time? Graphic novels are a new breed of book, combining pictures with text to tell their stories. Some of the best graphic novels include:

Maus, by Art Spiegelman. This novel uses cats and mice to tell the story of a Jewish man learning about his father's experiences in Nazi Germany. It won a Pulitzer Prize in 1992.
Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth by Chris Ware. Sparing text and clean design show how a shy, backward boy becomes an emotionally isolated adult. Winner of the Guardian (UK) First Book Award for 2001.
Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. Satrapi grew up in Iran after the fall of the Shah: Persepolis describes what it's like to come of age during a revolution. It was a New York Times Notable Book, and was awarded the first Fernando Buesa Blanco Peace Prize in Spain.

Like traditional novels, graphic novels span all topics and styles, and many aren't even strictly fiction. But whether you prefer the term "comic book," "graphic novel," or "sequential art," you can find something to admire in this genre. To help support increasing academic and popular interest in these books, we would like to begin building a substantial collection of graphic novels in Knight Library.
Amount: $500-$1000
Indian and South Asian Literature

Literature from south Asia and the Indian subcontinent is a major and growing force on the global cultural scene. Within the last 20 years, North American readers have become familiar with the works of Salman Rushdie, Arundhati Roy, Jhumpa Lahiri, Rohinton Mistry, V.S. Naipaul, Amitav Ghosh, Anita Rau Badami, and many other Indian and south Asian writers. Many of these authors have won major literary awards for their work, from Roy's 1997 Booker Prize for The God of Small Things to Lahiri's 2000 Pulitzer for Interpreter of Maladies.

Given that India alone supports almost a sixth of the world's population, it's no surprise that its national literature is enormous. While Western readers have easy access to the many popular works, there is a huge contingent of lesser-known writers not widely available in libraries or bookstores. Indian and south Asian literary criticism is also very hard to find, despite its importance to scholars seeking a rounded critical perspective. To provide the depth and breadth of a research-level collection, and to allow more readers access to little-known works and authors, we hope to build a signal collection of Indian and south Asian novels, poetry, drama, and criticism.
Amount: $1,500 to $3,000
