Novelists in the New Millennium. Conversations with Writers

Résumé

Novelists in the New Millennium is a collection of interviews with eight writers among the most significant in contemporary fiction in English: Julian Barnes, Jonathan Coe, David Lodge, Kazuo Ishiguro, Hanif Kureishi, Arundhati Roy, Graham Swift and Will Self. While discussing their most celebrated works and throwing a backward glance in their career, the authors give insight into their writing processes and delineate their main concerns, themes, narratives techniques and literary strategies. Among the recurrent issues addressed here are the representation of history, the blurring of boundaries between fiction and reality, the figure of the narrator and the status of the writer in the new century. The collection will enable readers to gauge the similarities and differences in the way writers deal with a wide range of subjects, help them perceive converging preoccupations, but also be aware of the specificities of each author and of the remarkable diversity of contemporary literature in English.
