Work in Process Wednesday! Episode 10: Youmna M. Chamieh ’22
Chamieh’s short stories blend autobiographical elements with fiction, allowing her writings to emphasize emotional and psychological truths over strict factual retellings. Her process often begins with a real memory or image, which she transforms into crafted vignettes. Each of her stories, according to her, stand alone rather than exist in chronological order. Major personal and global events alike inspire her symbolic and cathartic style of writing. www.youmnamelhemchamieh.com.
