Listen "Why We Return to Disaster Stories"
Episode Synopsis
D. Vincent DeLorenzo and Clara Wren dive into why readers are inexorably drawn to disaster stories, exploring their emotional engines, ethics of depiction, and the quiet power of community. They offer practical frameworks for readers and book clubs to distinguish between respectful storytelling and mere spectacle. With excerpts from DeLorenzo's own 'Unyielding', this episode is a compass for approaching tales of catastrophe with empathy and thoughtfulness.
