Designed for course use, American Literature in the World is structured around war; food; work, play, and travel; religions; and human and nonhuman interface. Selections include poetry from Anne Bradstreet and Jorie Graham; the fiction of Herman Melville, Mark Twain, and William Faulkner; Benjamin Franklin's parables, Thomas Jefferson's letters, Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders; and excerpts from Octavia Butler's Bloodchild and The Autobiography of Malcom X. The crime novels of Raymond Chandler, the comics of Art Spiegelman, the science fiction of Philip K. Dick, and recipes from Alice B. Toklas are all featured. More recent authors include Junot Diaz, Leslie Marmon Silko, Jonathan Safran Foer, Edwidge Danticat, Gary Shteyngart, and Jhumpa Lahiri. These works speak to readers at all levels, encouraging them to try out new combinations and remap American literature using new media and technologies. Toward that end, the print anthology has an interactive online component at www.amlitintheworld.yale.edu.
