Miriam Toews: Remaking the World

In A Truce That Is Not Peace, Miriam Toews invents an astonishing new non-fiction form to excavate her grief and guilt over her sister’s death by suicide. The result is searing, yet also joyful, hilarious, sly, and wildly inventive. The author of international phenomenon, Women Talking, joins us to discuss making a pact with traumatic memory and filling silences we wish weren’t there. Chaired by Alex Clark.
