Abstract

Researching Ann Tizia Leitich’s works was one of the highlights of my undergraduate studies. It had taken Dr. McFarland and me a few discussions to settle on this particular research topic. I was excited to work with him researching the topic of the American ‘other’ portrayed by Leitich and contemporaries such as Stefan Zweig, George Simmel and Theodor Lüddecke. Although I was excited to work on this project with a mentor whom I revered, my emotions were mixed. I must admit that my first thoughs of the research topic were not very interested. I thought it would be boring, but to my relief, the topic seemed to engross me until I had to keep myself from telling my friends about what I had read on a daily basis.
