You didn't resort to showing the graphic gore of an exploding IED, but instead clearly showed us the bloodless aftermath of the survivors. That is quite a bold metaphor for PTSD."

Excerpt:

Olivier Morel

Assistant Professional Specialist in French and Associate Director of Ph.D. in Literature Program

Professor Morel’s research focuses on fiction and trauma, the city in literature, and critical theory. In 2010, he defended a doctoral dissertation in Comparative Literature at Paris 8 on contemporary German writers and Berlin as world literary space. Olivier Morel studied at the Institut d’Études Politiques (Sciences Po) before pursuing post-master's degrees in history and philosophy at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (Paris).
He worked for over thirteen years as a journalist, specializing in radio, but also contributing to print media such as Le Monde Diplomatique and La Quinzaine Littéraire, and television documentaries. His book, Visages de la grande guerre, was published by Calmann-Lévy in 1998. Like much of his work, this text on international veterans from the First World War focuses on remembrances and accounts of survivors. In 2004 he contributed to a video installation for the Mémorial de la Shoah and the city of Paris based on interviews he conducted with Holocaust survivors. From 1997 to 2007 he collected the accounts of the last WWI survivors across the world. His research led to the publication of several works and three documentary films: The Twentieth Century, three survivors (French Institut National de l’Audiovisuel, 1999), The Last from World War I (French History Channel, 2000), and Farewell 14 (French public television “France 2”, 2006).
In 2010, Olivier Morel completed a feature-length documentary film with Zadig Productions titled On the Bridge (L’Âme en sang; Amerika’s Verletzte Seelen). It will be aired in Fall 2011 on the European public television channel ARTE.

Thank you Robbie Mi Robot for helping me stay sane thru all this.
