Pen America

PEN America, A Journal for Writers and Readers
Editor: M Mark
Review:
This 205 page book is published by PEN American Center, an affiliate of International PEN, the worldwide association of writers working to advance literature and defend free expression. This is a collection of writing taken from the 2006 World Voices festival, April 25-30. The work consists of many genres, including events, conversations, poetry and art. With so many international authors in one anthology, it is hard to keep track of who I want to further read, so I made a list. 
Favorite Authors :
Antonio Munoz Molina
Elif Shafak
Shan Sa
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Ryszard Kapuscinski
Michael Ondaatje
Hanan Al-Shaykh
Overall, a beautiful collection and if you get a chance check out the PEN site for more information about upcoming readings and publications.
