Elie Wiesel wrote, ‘If Greeks invented tragedy, the Romans the epistle and the Renaissance the sonnet, our generation invented a new literature, that of testimony.” What does it mean to bear witness to one’s own life? What evidence do we gather, how do we bolster our recollections, how do we tell artifice from truth, how do we make our reckonings?

Join Susie Ferguson and Kate Camp as they talk about Kate’s ‘true stories’, You Probably Think This Song Is About You.
