In a world reshaped by upheaval, how do we find the language for what has been lost? Bestselling author Tara Moss brings the postwar intrigue of her latest Billie Walker mystery, The Italian Secret, exploring the shadows of 1940s Europe and the secrets we carry across borders. She is joined by acclaimed memoirist and editor Lee Kofman, whose new anthology Ruptured examines the profound shifts in identity and belonging in our current moment. Together, they join moderator Michaela Kalowski to discuss the “ghosts” that haunt our history and our headlines, exploring how the act of writing serves as both a witness to trauma and a bridge toward understanding.
