What can fiction teach us about international relations?
Watch our conversation with Graham School instructor Jennifer Lind and explore how novels about imagined worlds can inform our understanding of global events in the real-world.
In this conversation, we examine two novels: The Remains of the Day by Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro and All Quiet on the Western Front by acclaimed novelist Erich Maria Remarque. Combining these two intricate novels with E.H. Carr’s authoritative study on the collapse of the international system, The Twenty Years’ Crisis, we look at how profoundly literature can illuminate and shape our world order.
