Survival: In the Folds of War
In Conjunction with the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair Writing about war, by tradition, focuses on the battlefield. There is, however, another focus, distinct and perhaps important: a literature of those who survive through war. There are times when war does not blanket a community completely, when it leaves spaces of relative freedom. This lecture represents a search for literature which deals with the survivors inside. It attempts to delineate the shape of that genre and forge a case for its importance, perhaps a celebration of it, perhaps a manifesto.
