World Voices Festival

Date04.24.2007

Greetings,

150 writers from 45 countries are gathering in NY this week at the World Voices Festival of International Literature sponsored by PEN.

This year's theme is "Home & Away." Writers will be reading, discussing and engaging on various global issues; climate change, the war in Iraq, torture and ongoing international refugee crisis.

“You don’t that often see writers being sought out when there are matters of great moment to discuss,” said Salman Rushdie, the novelist, former president of PEN American Center and chairman of the World Voices festival. “And I think that’s a loss.”

A link to the NYT story by Motoko Rich is included.

Peace.

World Voices
