Future of '60s courses?

Thanks for your suggestion of _Where the Girls Are_, Matthew. It sounds
like it (as well as Archie's forthcomig book) would have been a good fit
for my course. Notice "would have been." On yesterday's advice from the
course coordinator under which my course falls, I've left the book order
where it stood at my last report. However, there's nothing to stop one
from putting additional titles on reserve.... :)

As for Tom Denton's query about literary anthologies of '60s work, that's
a good one. I'd be interested to know if anyone's found anything. I
certainly haven't.

Tell me, you all (anyone who has an opinon), what is your estimation of
the future of '60s courses? I am the only person in my institution who's
interested in such courses, and I wonder if others of you are feeling like
the Lone Ranger at your own institutions.

One reason I ask is that I'm curious about how much of a market you all
see for the continued publication of book-length works on the '60s and/or
anthologies of '60s writings. That literary anthology Tom asks about, for
instance. As a list, we ought to be able to come up with a wonderful
collection of titles which some of our publishers or agents might find
attractive. If anyone's interested in working on such a project and thinks
there would be a market for it by the time it could be put together, I'd
like to hear from you.

Sandra
