Dr. Burton has helped me shift my paper's interest to how literature facilitates connecting us to previous generations and/or gives life where it wasn't before (inspired by my late father's annotated book list of suggested readings, posted here). I've already emailed some of BYU's professors for suggestions on relevant sources, but would love to know if anything comes to mind from your past reading experiences.
Some of the suggestions I've received from professors:
1. Petrarch's letter to Cicero
2. Marilynne Robinson's Gilead
3. Cynthia Ryland's Missing May
4. Patrick Ness's A Monster Calls
5. Markus Zusak's The Book Thief
6. Lois Lowry's A Summer to Die
7. James Baldwin's "My Dungeon Shook"
8. Montaigne's "Of Frienship"
9. Alice Walker's "Everyday Use"
10. Wai Chee Dimock's Through Other Continents
11. Harold Bloom's The Western Canon: The Books and School of the Ages
