Leora Fridman (AB, '07) is author of Bound Up: On Kink Power and Belonging, a work of autotheoretical nonfiction drawing on Leora's experiences as an American Jew experimenting with Nazi kink and roleplay, weaving these with critical theories of gender, queerness, diaspora and memory toward a wider conversation about how sexuality and embodied practices meet historical oppressions. What kind of healing can take place in the relational and physical realm? How can intimacy contradict and complement the process of political reparations? How do we integrate shifts in victim vs oppressor roles as history unfolds?

Benjamin Resnick (AB, '06) is author of Next Stop, a masterful blend of speculative fiction and family drama. Invoking biblical and historical themes in a world eerily similar to our own, it is a profound exploration of memory, identity, and survival.
