Festival del PEN Club
Hoy se inicia el PEN World Voices, el festival literario del PEN Club, en Nueva York bajo el lema Public Lives/Private Lives. Será hasta el 4 de mayo y la constelación de estrellas (para decirlo con voz de locutor de radio) es impresionante. Aquí algunos de los escritores que asistirán: Ian McEwan, Annie Proulx, Péter Esterházy, A.B. Yehoshua, Michael Ondaatje, Salman Rushdie, Catherine Millet, Jeffrey Eugenides, Alexander Hemon, Bernhard Schlink, Ma Jian, Janet Malcolm, Goncalo Tavares, Peter Carey, Ian Buruma, Rick Moody, Umberto Eco, Annie Proulx, Oliver Rolin, Francisco Goldman, Charles Simic, AM Homes (¡Pucha, cae una bomba atómica ahí y se bajan el catalogo de Anagrama!) La lista completa está aquí. En el ámbito del castellano asistirán Mario Vargas Llosa, Eduardo Lago, Juan Gabriel Vásquez. Coral Bracho y Carmen Boullosa. El blog "Paper Cuts" explica el temario:
The PEN World Voices festival kicks off tonight. It brings a zillion writers to New York for six days and nights of madcap literary adventures. Or at least a lot of panel discussions, readings, arguments, provocations — and at least one cabaret. This year’s theme is Public Lives/Private Lives. There are panels on sex, the “skin trade,” writing and the mind, leaving home, finding refuge, truth and reconciliation, as well as writers from China, Catalonia and Italy. On Sunday evening, Umberto Eco delivers the third annual Arthur Miller Freedom to Write lecture. Last year, David Grossman gave the keynote, a heartbreaking speech about his son, who was killed in Israel’s war with Lebanon in 2006.
