520    Contemporary creative writers reflect on the past, present
       and future of the novelIn 2012-2013, a year-long 
       conversation between writers took place at 17 literary 
       festivals around the world, from Jaipur to Krasnoyarsk, 
       and from Melbourne to Berlin. Distinguished novelists such
       as Irvine Welsh, Ahdaf Soueif and Ali Smith shared their 
       thoughts on various aspects of contemporary literature - 
       the challenges it faces and the directions it is taking. 
       This book is in part an anthology of the best of those 
       accounts and also an overview of the lively wide-ranging 
       global debate that the authors' views engendered among the
       many writers who took part. It adds up to an arresting and
       thought-provoking picture of the state of world literature
       today.Key FeaturesA powerful statement of the significance
       of literature in the modern world, and a call-to-arms for 
       those who believe that fine writing is 
       endangeredContributors include well-known contemporary 
       novelists such as: China Mieville, Ahdaf Soueif, Kapka 
       Kassabova, Irvine Welsh, Ali Smith and Kirsty GunnProvides
       an international perspective on the issues facing writers 
       and writing in general, and the present-day novel in 
       particularA new and valuable resource for academics and 
       students, and a fascinating primer for a wider readership 
       - for those who want to know how fiction functions & who 
       like to get an insight into the thought processes of 
       creative artists.
