How have the spread and visibility of terrorism shaped literature and the act of storytelling? Is the novel still relevant in today’s violent world? Can it address or possibly help heal the rifts between East and West? This three-part interview series features writers who wrestle with those questions in their work and, to varying degrees, in their cultural environments. Filmed in Istanbul, Cairo, and Vienna, the series brings viewers face-to-face with Nobel Laureate Orhan Pamuk as well as celebrated authors Alaa Al Aswany and Daniel Kehlmann. 3-part series, 29 minutes each.
