In memoir, who is the protagonist — the author alone? How far should the lives of others enter the page? And when truth and fairness come into tension, which should prevail? Three masters of the genre approach these questions from distinct worlds: Donna Nebenzahl returning to British Guiana in To Linger with You; Andreas Kessaris tracing memory, migration and belonging in Montreal’s Greek community in The Grand Tour of Park Ex; and Charlie Foran reflecting on aging, loss and the approach of mortality in Just Once, No More. Join us for a conversation about memory, responsibility and the ethics of telling one’s own story.
