Dr. Tarek El-Ariss - "Water on Fire: A Memoir of War"

Dr. Tarek El-Ariss - "Water on Fire: A Memoir of War" Alternating between his perspective as a child and as an adult, Tarek El-Ariss explores in this talk how we live with trauma, poignantly illustrating the profound impact of war on our perception of the world, intellectual development, and ability to imagine. The book tells a story of immigration that starts in a Beirut devastated by the Lebanese Civil War (1975–90), continues with experiences of displacement in Europe and Africa, moves to northeastern American towns battered by lake-effect snow and economic woes, and ends in New York City on 9/11. Dealing with monsters, invisible creatures, skin outbreaks, and the sea, it is a book about objects and elements, like water and fire, and about how encountering these elements triggers associations, connecting present and past, time and space.
