This weblog is part of the Summer 2009 American Short Story course taught by P{rofessor Gussman. Each student’s weblog focuses on one American short story and its author. My site is devoted to Ann Beattie’s story “Janus”. The site includes a summary of the story, a biography of Beattie, and an annotated bibliography of selected literary criticisms involving “Janus”. My personal close reading of the story is included, as well as an image collection that reflects elements of the work. Enjoy.
