Fall 2016 seminar: Ph.D candidate, comparative literature
Marc Kohlbry is a second-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Comparative Literature. Prior to Cornell, he received his M.A. in French from New York University in Paris and his B.A. in comparative literature from the University of Southern California. His current research project investigates the notion of literary production, specifically by analyzing the linguistic and communicative relationships between forms of experimental fiction and 20th-century capitalism. As a Mellon Fellow, he will consider the particularities of cultural and economic production in 20th-century Cuba, and by extension, the literary production of Cuban authors living and writing in exile during that time.
