"Nabokov who wrote the famously infamous Lolita while teaching at Cornell
is not the only notable author affiliated with this university. Creative
writing has a long and storied tradition on the East Hill: ranging from E.B.
White 21, who brought classics such as Charlottes Web and Stuart Little to
life, to literary icon Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. 44 to 2008 Pulitzer Prize winner
Junot Díaz MFA 95; from two of the women who have won the Nobel Prize for
Literature Pearl Buck MA 25 and Toni Morrison MFA 55 to the
bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada, Lauren Weisberger 99."
"Tapping into the sense of respect and even reverence for the literary
giants who have walked these halls the department offers a course every year
called The Great American Cornell Novel. Prof. Molly Hite, English, helms
the class. Hite a scholar of the works of author Thomas Pynchon 59 has
taught at Cornell since 1982, working side-by-side with figures such as
renowned poet A.R. Ammons. Ammons was a Cornell professor from 1964 to 1998,
who died in 2001."
