43. Kim Echlin: Storytelling for a World in Turmoil The acts of reading, writing, and sharing our stories are steadfast bastions against repression and despair; literature has been our shepherd throughout time, and—contrary to what some may believe—it is more essential and alive now than ever. In Tell Others: Storytelling for a World in Turmoil, award-winning author Kim Echlin blends her lived experience in different parts of the world with her wide-ranging reading, to explore in fresh ways how literature offers solace, thwarts censorship, and incites meaningful acts of resistance against the darknesses of our world. Join Echlin on a profound journey from Yugoslavia to China, and through the works of Milan Kundera, Salman Rushdie, and Margaret Atwood, as she sits down with Aislinn Hunter to discuss the stories that can never be silenced.
