H.G. Adler: A Survivor’s Dual Reverie

Featured authors: Peter Filkins, Jeremy Adler, Daniel Mendelsohn, Ruth Franklin
Moderator: Edwin Frank

Compared by critics to Kafka and Joyce, H. G. Adler is quickly gaining recognition as a key figure in 20th-century fiction. A panel of writers and journalists comes together to discuss Adler’s unique “dual” perspective on the events of the Holocaust, as author of both The Wall—a fictional account of his own survival—and of Theresienstadt 1941–1945: The Face of a Coerced Community—an academic examination of the same event to be published in a new translation in October 2015.

Co-presented with the PEN World Voices Festival
Scheuer Auditorium
