Imagine that you have been asked to write an article on Jacques Poulin’s Volkswagen Blues for an academic journal. What are some of the critical approaches you might apply to this text and what aspects of Poulin’s novel specifically would lead you to examine it from those perspectives? Discuss at least three critical approaches or key questions theory asks about literature that are especially relevant to Poulin’s text and offer specific, detailed examples from the novel to support your choice of these three.
I will also give you a second option for this essay, and that is to choose simply one theoretical approach and to discuss how that is applicable to the novel. This option, obviously, allows you to go into greater detail about this particular approach and the aspects of Poulin's novel to which it connects.
Essay length 1500 - 2000 words. I will literally stop reading after 2000 words, so please make certain that your argument is as concise as it can be.
Due date: Tuesday, May 3
