20th CENTURY LITERATURE AND THE NEW YORKER MAGAZINE
NEMLA Conference
April 12-13, 2002
Toronto
This panel will be devoted to discussing the editors and/or writers of
The NewYorker, focusing particularly on those editors and writers most
often associated with it, including but certainly not limited to Harold Ross,
William Shawn, William Maxwell, Katherine White, Tina Brown, James Thurber,
Dorothy Parker, E.B. White, Vladimir Nabokov, Jamaica Kincaid, John Cheever, and
John Updike. Papers might focus on any aspect of any writer commonly
associated with the magazine, but those focusing particularly on New Yorker
culture or on the relationships between the magazine's editors and its
writers will be especially welcome. Is there a New Yorker
style? A New Yorker short story? Did Tina Brown destroy the
magazine? Did she bring resuscitate it after William Shawn had squeezed the
breath out of it? These and lots of other questions might be
addressed.
Please send 250-500 word proposals (or completed papers) postmarked by
September 15, 2001.
