Scar Tissue: 1 Crime. 2 Writers. 18 Years.

On August 7, 1994, a deranged man brutally stabbed seven people in a New Haven cafe. Award-winning writers Emily Bernard and Bruce Shapiro, both critically injured that night, pondered the attack in essays written nearly two decades apart. Join them for a conversation about crime, memory, and the long shadow of violence.

Speakers: Emily Bernard, Associate Professor of English and Ethnic Studies, University of Vermont & Bruce Shapiro, Executive Director, Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma
