Traces of Violence is a highly original account of the Paris attacks. The authors show how violence is imprinted on a place, how it lingers, and in no small way test the methods by which we might apprehend these traces."—Todd Meyers, Marjorie Bronfman Chair in the Social Studies of Medicine, McGill University "What does it mean to write in the aftermath of political violence—of sudden and spectacular violence, as well as of enduring, even everyday violence? This book, a 'collection of shadows' surrounding the 2015 Paris attacks, is a searing set of meditations on the impossibility and necessity of writing about disaster. I am extremely grateful to Robert Desjarlais and Khalil Habrih for what they have risked in choosing to write—and to write collaboratively/contrapuntally––in the face of disaster."—Lisa Stevenson, author of Life Beside Itself: Imagining Care in the Canadian Arctic
