Join us for our New Books Series event honoring Atrocity: A Literary History by Bruce Robbins. Venturing from the Bible to Zadie Smith, Robbins explores the literature of suffering to show how, over time, abhorrence of mass violence takes shape. With it comes the emergence of a necessary element of cosmopolitanism: the ability to look at one's own nation with the critical eyes of a stranger.
Professor Robbins will be joined by panelists Joseph Albernaz, Bruno Bosteels, Denise Cruz, and Lauren Walsh.

Wednesday, April 16, 2025, 6:15 pm EDT | In person at the Heyman Center and online via Zoom Registration required
