September 8, 2011, Thursday - Granta 116: 10 Years Later at the Loft

Time: 7:00pm
 
Location: The Loft at Open Book (Performance Hall) 1011 Washington Avenue South
 
One day in September, a decade ago, all eyes were turned towards New York. Where are we looking now? Through fiction, reportage, memoir, poetry and photography, Granta 116: 10 Years Later looks at how an event like 9/11 reverberates, with stories from Tunisia to Toronto. As part of an event series that spans the nation, human rights advocate Barbara Frey, novelist Marlon James and Sioux author Susan Power will explore this topic through readings and in conversation with Minnesota Public Radio arts reporter Marianne Combs.

Granta magazine is a quarterly magazine of new writing founded in 1889 by students at Cambridge University as The Granta, a periodical of student politics, student badinage and student literary enterprise, named after the river that runs through the town. Since 1979, the year of its rebirth, Granta has published many of the world’s finest writers tackling some of the world’s most important subjects, from intimate human experiences to the large public and political events that have shaped our lives http://www.granta.com/.

This event is free and open to the public.
