Description

Though set worlds and generations apart, friendship, masculinity, and the madness and aftermath of war are delicately explored in both Benjamin Hertwig’s (Juiceboxers, Afghanistan) and Alice Winn’s (In Memoriam, World War I) debut novels. Deborah Willis—who edited Hertwig’s novel—will lead the discussion. Expect to leave both deeply shaken and stirred by what human beings are capable of in their darkest hours.
