In this main stage event recorded live at Narrowsburg's Deep Water Literary Fest 2025, three acclaimed writers explore how memory, family, and social environments indelibly shape a person, and how even in the most fractured of worlds, people find the resilience to survive and forge their own identity. Susan Choi’s new novel, Flashlight (2025) explores a girl’s confrontation with loss and memory after her father’s sudden disappearance revealing how childhood trauma can splinter a family. Booker Prize winner Douglas Stuart portrays adolescence in working-class Glasgow in his acclaimed novels Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo, while critic and writer Geoff Dyer adds a non-fiction perspective with Homework, reflecting on his own coming-of-age in 1960s–70s England during a time of post-war upheaval and rapid social change.
