"Writing the Real"
MU Assistant Professor of English Julija Šukys

Julija Šukys is the author of three books of nonfiction that tell the stories of forgotten lives. Her work has taken her across Siberia, to Israel, all over Europe and North America. She has spent hundreds of hours not only reading the diaries and letters of the dead but also in conversation with the living. In each of her three books (Silence Is Death, Epistolophilia, and the forthcoming Siberian Exile), Šukys follows the traces of her subjects—a writer, a Holocaust rescuer, and her own grandmother—and resurrects the stories of small, forgotten lives. She will read from her work and talk about how and why writers write from reality.
