How does trauma which affects an entire nation find expression in literature? Can literature reveal contradictions, pain, and anger on all fronts, or must it take sides? Can storytelling help heal wounds? Are people not always more than their traumas? Literature shows this when it continues to speak of love, loneliness, food, family and friendship—the everyday things that make a life whole. Israeli authors Ayelet Gundar-Goshen, Julia F. Tzaisler, and Yaniv Iczkovits talk about writing and living after October 7.
In cooperation with the Jerusalem International Writers Festival.
With Ayelet Gundar-Goshen, Yaniv Iczkovits, Julia F. Tzaisler
