On September 1-3, 2021 Jutta Zimmermann, André Schwarck and Cord-Christian Casper hosted an international conference on the multi-narrative via Zoom. This first conference on the multi-narrative attracted scholars from Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Their presentations explored the ways multi-narrative theory can be useful in interpreting a wide variety of literature from modernist favorites like Welty’s The Golden Apples to Marvel reboots and recons. These presentations not only demonstrated the relevance of the concept of the multi-narrative but also honed in on important questions and new avenues of study. The conference organizers are currently collecting expanded versions of these papers into an edited volume.
