Planned timetable:
The aim of this module is to introduce students to representative works of contemporary French fiction, where 'contemporary' indicates a period of time no greater than fifteen years from the present day. At least two texts will be published in the 21st century. Set texts will be selected with a view to revealing emerging thematic and stylistic trends in French literature, which might currently include: literature post 9/11; representations of ' the Far East' (China and Japan); new perspectives on WWII; faith(s) today; influence of the visual (e.g. film) on the written text.
