Vital Discussions On Demand is a series of conversations created by the Royal Society for Literature.

Ruth Padel is joined by Lisa Appignanesi for a timely discussion about loss and memory, parents and children, the fragility of life, and the Holocaust on Crete. In reflections on art, music and archaeology, two RSL Fellow writers explore eras of instability and how culture helps us to understand them.
