AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This paper looks at how crime fiction authors borrow not only from real life but from the crime fiction canon and literature when creating new works. Drawing on academic research and other novelists’ methods, it discusses self-reflexivity, self-consciousness, intertextuality, embedded text and mis en abyme within the crime fiction genre and how these features relate to ‘theft’/appropriation; specifically theft from ‘literary’ fiction, post-modern narrative structures and metaphysical detective novels. As a hybrid paper that includes creative extracts, it also examines the author’s use of these tools, and therefore appropriation, to write a PhD novel, ‘My Killer Secret’.'

    'The 21st annual conference of the AAWP invited writers and academics to respond to the idea that, as writers, we are engaging in a type of ‘authorised theft’. Over 100 delegates responded enthusiastically by presenting papers that straddled genres, disciplines, modes of expression, as well as languages and cultures. Panel topics included sociologies of writing, poetry and song, narrative and narrative modes, responses to pain and trauma, digital literature and the online space, memoir/biography and travel writing, identity and voice, oral storytelling and ways of knowing, as well as translation and cross-cultural encounters.'
