SWF — Taking Flight: Stories of Expulsion and Migration

With more people displaced around the world today than in any other time in modern history, what role can literature play in bringing issues of flight, expulsion and migration to the forefront? Join Go, Went, Gone author Jenny Erpenbeck and No Friend but the Mountains translator Omid Tofighian as they discuss stories of nationhood and statelessness with Julian Burnside. Jenny spent a year talking with refugees in Berlin to write her acclaimed novel; and Omid brought to light questions of detention and survival in translating Behrouz Boochani’s prize-winning memoir No Friend but the Mountains.
