Time to Pick Classes

I just got the listing of classes for the New School. So much to choose from! I have to pick one literature seminar and one writer's workshop. Plus, there is a Writer's Life Colloquium where I need to attend eight readings/seminars of my choosing throughout the semester (Joyce Carol Oates and Art Spiegelman are among the speakers. Also, The finalists from the National Book Awards will be doing a reading.) But as for the writer's workshop and lit seminar, I need to choose one professor for each. For the past month I have been trying to read one book from each prospective professor, but I have not quite finished yet. However, I am leaning toward taking James Lasdun for my writer's workshop and Jeffery Renard Allen for my literature seminar. The subject for Professor Allen's seminar is "Shadow Narration." I also like the reading list of books for the class, mainly because I have not read any of them and he recommends a number of additional books on writing itself. Can you tell that I am excited?
