This article presents lists of the literary events and publications in 2006. ==Events== *Summer - Brutalism becomes the first literary movement to be launched via the social networking site Myspace. *June - Ciaran Creagh's play ''Last Call'', based loosely on the hanging of murderer Michael Manning in 1954 as witnessed by the playwright's father, is staged in Mountjoy Prison, Dublin, where it is set. *July 14 - ''The Times Literary Supplement'' reports on the discovery of a missing copy of Shelley's ''Poetical Essay on the Existing State of Things'', an 1811 pamphlet containing a 172-line poem which criticizes war, politics and religion; although published anonymously, the poem is thought to have contributed to the rebel poet's expulsion from the University of Oxford (which acquires the unique copy of the pamphlet in 2015). *July 21 - The writers of ''America's Next Top Model'' go on strike while working on Cycle 7, due to be broadcast on the new CW Network in September 2006. The writers seek representation through the Writers Guild of America, which would allow them regulated wages, access to portable health insurance, and pension benefits. These benefits would be similar to those given to writers on scripted shows. *August 1 - The University of Helsinki library becomes the National Library of Finland (''Kansalliskirjasto''). *September 20 - The Writers Guild of America, West, holds a Los Angeles rally in support of the "America's Next Top Model" writers' strike. President Patric Verrone says: "Every piece of media with a moving image on a screen or a recorded voice must have a writer, and every writer must have a WGA contract." *November 6 - WGAw files an unfair labor practice complaint with the National Labor Relations Board after "Top Model" producers say that the next season of the show will not require writers. In response, Verrone said, "as they demanded union representation, the company decided they were expendable. This is illegal strikebreaking." *The first full-length novel in the Manx language, ''Dunveryssyn yn Tooder-Folley'' ("The Vampire Murders") is published by Brian Stowell, after being serialized in the press. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2006 in literature」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
