In what ways does reckoning with our personal and political histories and archives allow us to reckon with ourselves? New works by Iman Mersal (Traces of Enayat, trans Robin Moger), Daniel Saldaña Paris (Planes Flying Over a Monster, trans Christina MacSweeney and Philip K. Zimmerman), Kateřina Tučková (The Last Goddess, trans Andrew Oakland), and Mircea Cărtărescu (Solenoid, trans Sean Cotter), recover figures made invisible by popular history, assess the ways literature and landscape have transformed their lives, and invite the multiverse into the archive, breaking new ground for autobiographical and historical writing. Moderated by Will Evans, Publisher of Deep Vellum Publishing
