{"description":"\u201cJews live in time, not space\u2026we have, and are, a story, not a plot of territory\u201d. So says Linda Grant\u2019s character Jossel in The Story of the Forest.\nFrom Latvia to Liverpool and post-war Soho, she tells the story, based in part on her own family\u2019s experiences, of one Jewish family through the tumultuous 20th century. The tale she weaves is about myths, memory and how we adapt in order to survive. Place, memory and Jewish identity are also at the heart of Rachel Lichenstein\u2019s art; the curator and Estuary author joins the multi-award-winning novelist in conversation with TLS fiction and politics editor Toby Lichtig.\nBuy a copy of The Story of the Forest by Linda Grant","height":1080,"html":"<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%\"><iframe src=\"https://skiv.com/embed/z9jxJKe\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;position:absolute;left:0;top:0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"fullscreen\" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>","provider_name":"Skiv","provider_url":"https://skiv.com","thumbnail_height":198,"thumbnail_url":"https://cdn.skiv.com/u/MkG8VMM/e553251b6ae5b5cbb33acd105fc08a9a755872635afa4bc44ce5a377cafcc93e/thumbnails/thumbnail.jpg","thumbnail_width":352,"title":"Linda Grant & Rachel Lichtenstein","type":"video","url":"https://skiv.com/v/z9jxJKe","version":"1.0","width":1920}
