MOUNT VERNON – A paper by Nathan Sacks ’09 was accepted for publication in The Oswald Review, an undergraduate journal. The paper is slated for the fall of 2009.
Sacks’ article, titled “Guy Endore’s Babouk in the Shadow of Orientalism,” originated from a paper Sacks wrote for Shannon Reed’s Senior Seminar. The paper examined Babouk‘s value and effectiveness in light of the lack of scholarship that existed on the book.
“I genuinely hope someone happens upon The Oswald Review and is enlightened, entertained, or infuriated by something I wrote,” said Sacks.
Sacks credited English professor Shannon Reed with inspiring and shepherding the paper.
The Oswald Review is an international journal of undergraduate research and criticism in English. It is published annually.
