The stories families keep, the histories that shape us, and the long reach of the past are up for discussion in this event which explores how fiction can give voice to what goes unspoken across generations.
Defne Suman talks about her epic story that weaves its way across seven decades of an ever-changing Istanbul. Catherine Cho presents her debut novel The Devoted, an emotionally transportive story of family and fate in which a young Korean woman becomes entangled in the world of a notorious crime organisation. Ela Lee brings Minbak, a sweeping story of three generations of women crossing continents in search of truth, forgiveness and a hidden piece of South Korean history.
‘The past is never dead. It’s not even past.’
William Faulkner
Ela, Catherine & Defne will be in conversation with writer, editor and translator Daniel Hahn.
