True Stories: Windows on the World
Another perspective on the connections between story and history. Do writers effect change by being both
witness and agent of historical circumstance? How do personal accounts relate to historical event? And when
it comes to finely observed truth, the writer’s subject doesn’t get much finer than microbes: what is their story? Roger Averill, Boy, He Cry, L M Robinson, Madame Brussels, Lorraine Campbell, Resisting the Enemy, Idan Ben-Barak, Small Wonders: How Microbes Rule Our World explore historical intersections, scientific truths and shades of non fiction.
Chair: Kevin Rabalais, The Landscape of Desire
