Thornton Wilder Society
At the 18th Annual American Literature Association Conference
Boston, MA, May 24-27, 2007

Novels of Thornton Wilder

Thornton Wilder's position in American letters owes more to his
experiments in dramatic form than to his fiction. Yet some of his novels
were successful critically or commercially or both. For example, Wilder's
second novel, "The Bridge of San Luis Rey," won the Pulitzer Prize, was an
international bestseller, and consistently appears on rankings of the best
novels of the 20th century. His penultimate novel, "The Eighth Day," won
the National Book Award.

The Ethics of Passing
   
  The concept of "passing" is not new to the American landscape. While racial/ethnic passing may be the most widely recognized form of passing, recent acceptance of queer and transgender studies reveals passing as more than a matter of skin color. The most general question, what are the ethics involved and undermined in participating in passing, opens the door to many other questions surrounding this issue. Does the actor always have control over her/his own ability to pass? What does it mean that someone can be passed without desiring such recognition? What kind of responsibility is involved in revealing ethnic, sexual, or gender "authenticity" if even the notion of the authentic has become problematic?

We are seeking a third participant for a special session that will be taking
place at the MLA convention this year, on Wednesday, December 27, at 5:15
pm, in Philadelphia. The title of the special session is "Postirony in
Theory and Fiction."

One of our participants is no longer able to take part in this panel, which
means we have an open slot that we'd like to fill. We're especially
interested in papers that discuss the concept of postirony in the essays
and fiction of David Foster Wallace. Papers on related topics are also
welcome.
