Aleksandar Hemon will discuss issues of migration, narration, displacement, multilinguality, macaronic language, epic form, music, collaborative creativity, and the end of empires. He will also read excerpts from his critically-acclaimed novel “The World and All That It Holds” (2023), a sweeping story that spans decades — 1914-1949 (and 2001) —and continents, from Sarajevo to Shanghai (plus Jerusalem). The reading will be followed by a Q&A led by CREES Director Elizabeth King.
