Priya Basil and Madeleine Thien Conflict and Writing: How do we tell stories after a crisis? A »Granta« magazine conversation.
How do we tell stories after a crisis? A »Granta« magazine conversation.
Join authors and »Granta« contributors Priya Basil and Madeleine Thien to explore how we tell stories after a crisis with »Granta« editor John Freeman. Priya Basil is the founder of Authors for Peace and a novelist. In her most recent novel »The Obscure Logic« of the Heart, she moves through Europe, Africa and themes of pacifism, the nature of faith and the motives of men in the illegal arms trade. Madeleine Thien's recent novel »Dogs at the Perimeter«, which was extracted in »Granta« 114, opens a window between East and West, and looks into the disappearance of loved ones, the fall of Phnom Penh and the Khmer Rouge. The conversation is part of a series of events that mark the launch of »Granta« 116: Ten Years Later, which look at where we are now, ten years on from 9/11. Free entry.
