More than twenty years after 9/11, the Global War on Terror is now the longest military campaign in American history, dragging on even after last year’s withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. How can writers help us make sense of it? In a conflict this sprawling—one that has remained a distant and remote reality for many Americans—what role should literature play in depicting and redefining the war? Join us on June 7th for a conversation with Peter C.

Moderated by Joseph M. Keegin and co-sponsored by the Seminary Co-op.
