What has he been reading recently? He loves Sally Rooney’s Normal 11 People, he tells me, admiring especially what he calls the “clever rhetorical trick” of how she merges the 12 thoughts of protagonists Marianne and Connell. The prose is “very fine, approachable and easily absorbed, 13 but nicely overladen with emotional frit”. 14 On souped-up multi-strain creative nonfiction he’s not so keen. “I want some invention: to be stretched in 15 that way.” But he likes the autofiction of Knausgaard, I’ve read somewhere. He’s “compelling in his 16 thoroughness” but can be overwhelming. “One day I’d say I can’t take any more of this, and the next day 17 read 100 pages. It’s a bit like Brexit coverage,” he tells me.

  • What Literature Knows: Forays Into Literary Knowledge Production
    Contributions to English 2 Contributions to English and American Literary Studies 2 and American Literary Studies 2 Antje Kley / Kai Merten (eds.) Antje Kley / Kai Merten (eds.) Kai Merten (eds.) Merten Kai / What Literature Knows This volume sheds light on the nexus between knowledge and literature. Arranged What Literature Knows historically, contributions address both popular and canonical English and Antje Kley US-American writing from the early modern period to the present. They focus on how historically specific texts engage with epistemological questions in relation to Forays into Literary Knowledge Production material and social forms as well as representation. The authors discuss literature as a culturally embedded form of knowledge production in its own right, which deploys narrative and poetic means of exploration to establish an independent and sometimes dissident archive. The worlds that imaginary texts project are shown to open up alternative perspectives to be reckoned with in the academic articulation and public discussion of issues in economics and the sciences, identity formation and wellbeing, legal rationale and political decision-making. What Literature Knows The Editors Antje Kley is professor of American Literary Studies at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. Her research interests focus on aesthetic forms and cultural functions of narrative, both autobiographical and fictional, in changing media environments between the eighteenth century and the present. Kai Merten is professor of British Literature at the University of Erfurt, Germany. His research focuses on contemporary poetry in English, Romantic culture in Britain as well as on questions of mediality in British literature and Postcolonial Studies. He is also the founder of the Erfurt Network on New Materialism.

  • Intertextuality in Ian Mcewan's Selected Novels
    1 Intertextuality in Ian McEwan's Selected Novels Assist. Prof. Raad Kareem Abd-Aun, PhD Dijla Gattan Shannan (M.A. Student) Abstract The term intertextuality is coined by poststructuralist Julia Kristeva, in her essay “Word, Dialogue and Novel” (1969). The underlying principle of intertextuality is relationality and lack of independence. In this paper, this technique (intertextuality) will be discussed in Ian McEwan's selected novels. The novels are Enduring Love (1997), Atonement (2001), and Sweet Tooth (2012). Key Words: intertextuality, McEwan, Enduring Love, Atonement, Sweet Tooth. التناص في أعمال روائية مختارة ﻹيان مكيون أ.م. د. رعد كريم عبد عون دجلة كطان شنان أستخدم مصطلح التناص ﻷول مرة من قبل الناقدة جوليا كرستيفا في مقالتها )الكلمة و الحوار و الرواية( عام 1969. إن المبدأ الرئيس خلف التناص هو العﻻقة وعدم وجود اﻹستقﻻلية. وفي هذا البحث، ُدرست هذه التقنية في روايات مختارة ﻹيان مكيون، والروايات هي الحب اﻷبدي )1997( و الغفران )2001( و سويت تووث )2012(. الكلمات المفتاحية: التناص؛ مكيون؛ الحب اﻷبدي؛ الغفران؛ سويت تووث. 2 Intertextuality in Ian McEwan's Selected Novels Ian McEwan (1948) is one of the most significant British writers since the 1970s, this is due his way of the link between morality and the novel for a whole generation, in ways that befit the historical pressures of their time. This makes his novels have a significant form of cultural expression McEwan’s early works are characterized by self – ambiguity in which he is tackling important social themes within the fictional scenario. His early narrative is described as “snide and bored”, or as “acutely dysfunctional or the abusive”, at other times as “inexplicaply lawless”.

  • S POST-MILLENNIAL NOVELS ZDENĚK BERAN Ian Mcewan
    2016 ACTA UNIVERSITATIS CAROLINAE PAG. 123–135 PHILOLOGICA 1 / PRAGUE STUDIES IN ENGLISH METAFICTIONALITY, INTERTEXTUALITY, DISCURSIVITY: IAN MCEWAN ’ S POST-MILLENNIAL NOVELS ZDENĚK BERAN ABSTRACT In his twenty-first-century novels, Atonement, Saturday, Solar and Sweet Tooth, Ian McEwan makes ample use of narrative strategies characteris- tic of postmodernist writing, such as metafictionality, intertextuality and discursive multiplicity. This article discusses how this focus distinguish- es his recent novels from earlier ones. Thus Sweet Tooth is read as a text which includes the author ’ s attempt to revise his own shorter texts from the onset of his career in the mid-1970s. The use of parallelisms and alle- gory in McEwan ’ s 1980s novels The Child in Time and The Innocent is then contrasted with more complex strategies in Saturday and Solar. Special attention is given to the thematization of the role of discourse in Solar; it is argued that the novel is not just a satire on modern science and its corrup- tion by commercialization but also a reflection of “ontological relativism” as a product of prevailing contemporary discourse formations. Keywords: contemporary British novel; Ian McEwan; discourse; Foucault; intertextuality; metafiction Ian McEwan ’ s recent novel, Sweet Tooth (2012), reveals the author ’ s proclivity for the use of metafictional writing at its most entangled and transgressive best. After more than three successful decades on the British literary scene,1 McEwan has here offered his 1 The outstanding position of Ian McEwan as one of the most successful contemporary English writers can be documented by the many literary awards his work has received across decades: His early col- lection of short stories First Love, Last Rites (1975) won the Somerset Maugham Award in 1976.

His whole career is covered, and the connections as well as the developments across the oeuvre are considered. The essays offer both an assessment of McEwan’s technical accomplishments and a sense of the contextual factors that have provided him with inspiration. This volume has been structured to highlight the points of intersection between literary questions and evaluations, and the treatment of contemporary sociocultural issues and topics. For the more complex novels – such as Atonement – this book offers complementary perspectives. In this respect, The Cambridge Companion to Ian McEwan serves as a prism of interpretation, revealing the various interpretive emphases each of McEwan’s more complex works invite, and shows how his various recurring preoccupations run through his career. is Professor of Modern English Literature at the University of Nottingham, where he served as Head of School, 2007–10.

  • Marketing Transnational Childhoods: the Bio Blurbs of Third Culture Novelists
    Marketing Transnational Childhoods: The Bio Blurbs of Third Culture Novelists Jessica Sanfilippo Schulz Abstract Many contemporary novelists experienced high levels of transnational mobility during their childhood and were thus raised ‘among’ different countries and cultures. Predominantly the offspring of diplomats, business executives, missionaries, military personnel and academics, these writers have compelling backgrounds of transnational and transient childhoods. Third Culture Kid (TCK), coined by the sociologist Ruth Useem, is the term given to this childhood experience. Until 2010, the term TCK was only used by sociologists, anthropologists, psychologists, and cultural educators, but never before by scholars of literary studies. In 2011, Antje Rauwerda adapted this concept and coined the term ‘Third Culture Literature’ to describe the fictional writings by authors who share a ‘cultural background of expatriatism’. For Rauwerda, these novelists do not fit ‘a postcolonial, diasporic or cosmopolitan paradigm’ so that an up-to-date classification is needed for this new ‘subset of international writing’. The purpose of this article is to verify to what extent cultural identities are deployed in the marketing of Third Culture Literature. The article focuses on five contemporary well-known authors (such as Ian Martel and Ian McEwan) who have ‘grown up across worlds’ and analyses over 25 biographical details that are offered to readers by publishers in selected editions of their novels. The biographical details I examine are not only distributed in English but also, for example, in Arabic, Danish, German and Spanish. Not all publishers choose to portray their transnational authors in a ‘global’ light. However, due to the primarily international settings of Third Culture novels, many publishers either adopt the expatriate culture of their authors or adapt their biographies in order to kindle their target audiences.

This was the first work written by McEwan that consist eight short stories with estranged and perplexed themes. Ian McEwan received a mixed reaction of criticism as well as appreciation by the readers. The stories are usually of fifteen to twenty pages with the following titles – “Solid Geometry”, “Homemade”, “Last Day of Summer”, “Cocker at the Theatre”, “Butterflies”, “Conversation with a Cupboard Man” and “First Love, Last Rites” and “Disguise”.
