De lo mágico a lo fantástico
[Readings by author] [Back to Class Home Page] [Grading Policy]
note: For all linked stories on this page, you will need Adobe Acrobat. (Available in the TMC or other campus labs.) You are not expected, or even encouraged, to try to read these off the screen. Instead, print out all the stories early in the semester--by the third week at least--thus avoiding server problems later. Secondly, place these in a notebook and bring the entire collection to each class!
