On this podcast I feature a special guest, former marine and writer Elliot Ackerman, who co-authored the book, "2034: A Novel about the next world war." This was a few weeks before the war in Ukraine broke out.
So for my Writing and Publishing class at Benjamin Franklin High School, I got my students to pay closer attention to how process the war. What does war mean to us as writers, but also as media consumers. We are no longer --and cannot be -- bystanders in world events. I talk of how other storytellers have helped us put wars into context. Cartoonists, for example. Some of these cartoonists even children will recognize!
At the time of recording this, we had just begun to read how young people write about the war, specifically writers from Ukraine. Little did we know that in two weeks we would be talking to one writer, a student who had fled Kiev. You could read about this here on my post on Medium.com.
