Philip Gourevitch: The Life After — Rwanda Thirty Years On (ASL)
Room: History, Biography, Religion, 2nd Floor
In three decades since the genocide of Tutsis decimated Rwanda —with a million slaughtered in a hundred days — that country has been engaged in the most ambitious and intensive process of reckoning and accountability ever undertaken by any society. Drawing on his own three decades of reporting, Gourevitch examines how — against all expectations — killers and survivors live together again as neighbors.
Philip Gourevitch is a long-time staff writer at The New Yorker and was formerly the editor of The Paris Review. He is the author of Standard Operating Procedure / The ballad of Abu Ghraib (2008), A Cold Case (2001), and We Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families: Stories from Rwanda (1998), which won numerous honors, including the National Book Critics Circle Award, and recognition by The Guardian as one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time. Next year, FSG will publish his new book: You Hide That You Hate Me And I Hide That I Know.
