Roxana Robinson & Elliot Ackerman with Lucas Wittman - Honor in Literature
Wed, Nov 12 at 4pm
PRESENTED WITH THE 92ND STREET Y, NEW YORK
Join us for a conversation with award-winning authors Roxana Robinson and Eliot Ackerman on the concept of honor in contemporary literature and society. Robinson’s writing generally explores honor in relation to the realm of the personal, while Ackerman, as a former marine, tends towards questions of honor in the context of the military—both writers explore how one can embrace and subvert traditional honor codes. Their conversation will explore how one forms a code of honor in today’s world and the implications of this practice.
Moderated by Lucas Wittmann, Executive Director of the 92nd Street Y Unterberg Poetry Center.
