ENGL 44511 - Roddy Doyle Seminar

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

Discussion of : A Star Called Henry,The Giggler Treatment The Van, Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, Woman who Walked into Doors, and the films "Michael Collins" and "The Van". This seminar aims to introduce students to the work of Roddy Doyle and examine how this work engages with received notions of "Irishness" and Irish identity. In this course we intend to document his writing as a transition from an investment in romanticised narratives, such as The Barrytown Trilogy, to a more self-reflexive and questioning mode of storytelling.
