AWW23: History Lessons - John Boyne
Chair: Jonathan Green
\nIn both the bestselling novel\xa0The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas\xa0and its recently published sequel,\xa0All the Broken Places, John Boyne has taken on the difficult terrain of fictionalising the Holocaust. But how should novelists write about this period? Does historical accuracy matter? Are these contemporary novels written to stir our collective conscience or to remind us of the moral choices individuals make in dangerous times? Join us as Boyne reflects on these issues in the context of his novels for adults and younger readers.
