life on trial
My name is Louis Persia. And I've spent my life at the scene of the question. Confessing to crimes of identity. Gathering evidence of memory, and enacting the same old trial of what it means to be- How do you explain your growth to a jury that lives inside your head? To podcast stories of search and revision. Cross-examinations of self, emotional appeals, cultural crime scenes, and identity taboos. For memoir, and for metaphor. The liminal, the dismissed. The unclaimed feelings-all submitted to the bench of self. This... is Life on Trial. And I'll see you in the archives.
