The seminar will explore the perennial theme of the clash between generations featuring in Anglophone fiction of the 20th and 21st centuries covering various historical periods and cultural backgrounds. A major focus will be on works of Irish fiction addressing such controversial issues in Irish society as divorce, unwanted pregnancy outside wedlock, abortion and deviant behaviour conflicting with Catholic ethics. The short stories by Salman Rushdie and Hanif Kureishi address the sensitive issue of Muslim fundamentalism, whereas those by T.C. Boyle and Kazuo Ishiguro are concerned with strained father- son relationships in the context of the USA and Japan respectively.
