I will be out of town for this, but I would have definitely purchased tickets. I love the venue and the authors are fabulous. If anyone goes, I want a full report. Thanks.

Event: PEN WORLD VOICES: NEW YORK FESTIVAL OF INTERNATIONAL LITERATURE“WRITING HOME”

Description:
Don DeLillo, Kiran Desai, Neil Gaiman, Nadine Gordimer, Alain Mabanckou, Steve Martin, SalmanRushdie, Pia Tafdrup, Tatyana Tolstaya, Saadi Youssef
An extraordinary line-up of writers explore what binds us to home and what holds us apart from it, and why home, or the idea of it, is or isn’t worth dying and killing for. How do we find home, and, when we lose it, how do we make a new one? Why do we leave home and why do we long to return? “Writing Home” visits the domestic, the exiled, the global, and the imagined in search of a place we can call our own. “When a writer knows home in his heart, his heart must remain subtly apart from it. He must always be a stranger to the place he loves, and its people.”—William Morris.
