Boston Marathon Bombing 10 Years Later: Five Essays

By Tracey Folly

On April 15, 2013, two hours after the first runner had crossed the finish line at the Boston Marathon, two bombs detonated in the crowd of onlookers, turning the event into a war zone. Brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev were identified as the suspects responsible for dropping backpacks containing pressure cooker bombs into trash cans and detonating them remotely via cellphone. In "Boston Marathon Bombing 10 Years Later: Five Essays," a pool of talented writers comes together to offer their opinions and insights on the events of that terrible day.

In April 2013, following the Boston Marathon Bombing, I commissioned five writers to create essays detailing their thoughts and opinions about the facts as we knew them then. These essays were written not long after the incident and lack the insights they might have contained if they were written as the aftermath played out.

"Boston Marathon Bombing 10 Years Later: Five Essays" was written and originally posted in April 2013 under its original title "Boston Marathon Bombing: Essays and Reflections." Shortly thereafter, I made the decision to remove the booklet from publication. I wasn't ready. Now, more than a decade after the tragic incident of ten years ago, I've decided to dust off the manuscript and republish it as a tribute to honor the victims of the Boston Marathon Bombing, ten years later.
