SUMMARY:Contemporary Irish Fiction - in English
DESCRIPTION:By Valerie Fehlbaum\n\nWednesday from 18.30 to 19.45pm\, on 24 
 September\, 8 October\, 12 November\, 17 December 2025\n\nAfter obtaining 
 her B.A. at St Hilda’s College\, Oxford\, VALERIE FEHLBAUM moved to Swit
 zerland where she taught English as a Foreign Language for a few years bef
 ore joining the English Department at the University of Geneva. She then w
 ent on to obtain an M.A. in Gender Studies and a Ph.D. on the New Woman at
  the University of Wales\, Aberystwyth. Her subsequent monograph on Ella H
 epworth Dixon was initially published by Ashgate in 2005 and republished i
 n paperback by Taylor &amp\; Francis in 2019. She has also lectured at the
  University of Neuchâtel and tutored with the Open University.\n\nIrish w
 riters have often occupied a liminal space in what is generally referred t
 o as English Literature. Are they insiders or outsiders? Or both? Is there
  a specifically Irish Literature? In this cercle de lecture\, through clos
 e analysis of some recent\, highly-acclaimed fiction by Irish writers\, we
  shall attempt to answer such questions.\n\nChosen authors and texts:\n\nS
 ept. 24: Colm Tóibín (Brooklyn\; Long Island)\nOct. 8: Sally Rooney (Nor
 mal People\; Intermezzo)\nNov. 12: Claire Keegan (Foster\; Small Things Li
 ke These)\nDec. 17: Anne Enright (The Wren\, the Wren\; Actress)
