Strassler Center Director and Rose Professor Debórah Dwork will moderate a conversation between Strassler Center doctoral candidate Khatchig Mouradian and best-selling author Chris Bohjalian. They will discuss different routes to the past (literature and history) and how each genre informs the other. Bohjalian is the author of numerous novels including The Sandcastle Girls (2012), an epic novel about the Armenian Genocide and, most recently, Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands (2014). Mouradian is completing his dissertation on The ‘Ground Zero’ of the Armenian Genocide: Destruction and Agency in the Concentration Sites of Syria (1915-1918)and serves as Coordinator of the Armenian Genocide Program at Rutgers University.
