      abstract = {This project is about four cosmopolitan writers,  foreigners to one another, who lived through and wrote  about the long mid-twentieth century. Metropolitans apart,  they are Evelyn Waugh, Marguerite Duras (Donnadieu), Samuel  Beckett, and Hayashi Fumiko. Each writer was born to modern  British, French, Irish, and Japanese nation-state  formations. But, as global writers, each also traveled—both  imaginatively and in embodied ventures—beyond native  spaces. Collectively, though at a distance from one  another, they used the resources of non-native materials to  craft historical fiction of their time. Common in their  world-citizenship at mid-century, this diverse group of  modernist cosmopolitans negotiates the problem of modernity  through complex descriptive representations of historical  contemporaneity. The scope of their collective literary  project—the prompt for my own study of global convergences  and divergences—captures both the shallow-instantaneous and  deep-mnemonic historical structures of communal globality.  },
