The 2021 PEN World Voices Festival(May 18 – 22, 2021) convenes fiction and nonfiction writers, poets, translators, thinkers, and activists to honor the art of the possible and the power of storytelling to push boundaries, challenge inherited narratives, and give voice to hope, courage, and survival. In a year when division and bloodshed have been fueled by hatreds based on race, ethnicity, and religion, the Festival celebrates resilience and courage, and summons the powers of the radical imagination and literature as gateways to reckoning and reconciliation.
Featured Festival authors this year include: Jhumpa Lahiri, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Imbolo Mbue, Maria Hinojosa, Alison Bechdel, Kiese Laymon, Yusef Komunyakaa, George Saunders, Joy Harjo, Mortada Gzar, G. Willow Wilson, John McWhorter, Edwidge Dandicat, Richard Flanagan, and many more.
