    > Papers are invited for a proposed panel on narrative theory in the age of
    > international fictions. How have international fictions -- narratives,
    > written primarily at the turn into the twenty-first century, influenced by
    > the zeigeist of multiculturalism -- altered the concerns and traditions of
    > narrative theory? How has narrative theory been rendered transient,
    > mobile, and migratory by the presence and proliferation of international
    > writing? Papers might consider specific aspects of narrative theory --
    > theories of closure, for example -- or think about styles and topics of
    > narrative in a more general way. Papers can be comparative or on single
    > authors, and the choice of authors is open.
