Memory at work: Anecdotes, Fictions and Some Truths

Edgardo Cozarinsky’s latest novel, Dark, descends into the underworld of desire and the insatiable voracity of youth, in order to craft a novel that celebrates the astuteness of imagination. The fragmented structure, the alternating points of view and temporality make Dark a novel that destabilized the idea of an autofiction. Argentine writer, Edgardo Cozarinsky will be in conversation with David Rieff, American non-fiction writer and policy analyst who has written extensively about historical memory. Both authors will discuss the uses of memory, the power of the imagined fiction of our lives, and the ways we craft and tell stories about the past.
