Title of the paper : Sally Rooneys Conversations with Friends and Normal People from The Perspective of Marxist Literary Criticism

Abstract:  Sally Rooney represents a prominent figure of the contemporary Irish literature as well as English-written literature in general. Over the duration of her still young career, she has already become a best-selling author and gained praise with many critics. Among other things, Rooney is commended for her biting wit Harkin, raw prose Harris, thought-provoking observations and insightful portrayal contemporary relationships Sarazen. All of these have made her a person of note across many groups of readers. However, she is often being linked particularly to the millennial generation. In 2018, she has been dubbed as the the first great millennial author by The New York Times Barry and, in 2019, the voice of the generation by The Washington Post Sarazen. One of the reasons behind these praising labels is Rooneys choice of young characters who are coming of age on the pages of her novels while looking for their identity in the contemporary world.
