For a proposed special session at MLA, I am seeking abstracts or
10 page papers on the following issues.

Can serious contemporary fiction escape the bonds of ironic
self-consciousness? Is a mark of the depletion of postmoderism
an effort to revision deep feeling and direct expression? Is
passion possible? Allowable? On what personal or ideological
grounds? And in what language, through what narrative strategies
can a post-ironic consciousness be articulated in fiction?

Vitae and abstracts or papers by 1 March to Charles Russell,
Department of Engish, Rutgers-Newark, Newark, NJ 07102; or
crr@andromeda.rutgers.edu
