Workshop: War Novelists
11 November 2009, 2pm - 4pm
Rare Books and Special Collections, 4th Floor, McLennan Library, McGill University
Has the experience of war - unique in itself - opened up an otherwise inaccessible space for novelists to reflect on the possibilities of their art? Has it led to a new perception or a new awareness of the novel as a means of thinking about the world and about human existence? And in what capacity has the novel shaped our understanding of the experience of war?
Caroline Krzakowski, Department of English
Lawrence Durrell
Olivier Parenteau, Department of French Language and Literature
