MAKING HISTORY INTO FICTION—THOMAS MALLON

It’s said that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat its mistakes. Historical fiction is a key genre to understanding our past and ultimately shaping our futures. How does one make it credible and vivid? This session hopes to provide lively discussion about the techniques and pitfalls of setting fiction in past eras, the ethics of incorporating actual events and individuals into a story, and the ways in which historical fiction can inspire readers to reflect on their own present-day circumstances.
