Episode Synopsis


This episode features a conversation with Bruce Holsinger, Professor of Medieval Literature at the University of Virginia Department of English. In addition to his academic writing, Bruce is an award-winning fiction writer. We talk with him about his latest novel, The Displacements.
We talk with Bruce about how his fiction writing asks questions that overlap with his academic writing (see his latest, On Parchment). At stake in both is the archive, its power, its past, and its future.
