Panel: Intimacies and Inheritances

The private is never only personal. Writers often transform memory, intimacy, and inherited experience into stories that confront wider histories and contemporary wounds. This panel brings together three novelists whose works explore desire, vulnerability, and the aftershocks of trauma. They reflect on how literature can hold tenderness and violence side by side, giving voice to what is silenced in family, society, and nation.
