PM Rahna Reiko Rizzuto, author of Hiroshima in the Morning
In conversation with Kathryn Cullen-Dupont of Pratt Institute
In June 2001, Rahna Reiko Rizzuto went to Hiroshima to interview survivors of the atomic bomb detonation, in search of a deeper understanding of her war-torn heritage. Then the attacks on September 11 changed everything. The survivors’ carefully constructed memories were shattered, causing them to relive their agonizing experiences and to open up to Rizzuto in astonishing ways. Rizzuto’s narrative of the survivors’ stories is intertwined with the story of her own crumbling marriage and ambivalence about being a wife and mother, and the parallel narratives explore the role of memory in all our lives. Rizzuto talks about these themes this evening with her friend and former student Kathryn Cullen-Dupont, an associate adjunct professor at Pratt Institute and author of several books on women's studies.RSVP on Facebook (optional)
