SUMMARY:New Irish Fiction - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:Irish writers have long been at the forefront of formal expe
 rimentation in English-language fiction. Now\, almost a hundr
 ed years after James Joyce and Samuel Beckett shattered expe
 ctations of the conventional novel\, Irish writers are asking
  new questions about what fiction is capable of doing. Their
  works represent remarkable innovations in the representatio
 n of subjectivity\, identity\, and time in fiction. They are a
 lso deeply attuned to politics\, writing in the wake of the g
 lobal economic downturn\, the collapse of the moral authority
  of the Catholic church\, the Good Friday Agreement\, and the 
 creation of new forms of identity in Ireland. This panel bri
 ngs together some of the most widely acclaimed and adventuro
 us Irish writers of the twenty-first century to discuss the 
 way forward for Irish fiction in a time of migration\, right-
 wing populism\, and increasing demands for gender\, racial\, ec
 onomic\, and climate justice.
