PEN World Voices Festival: In Conversation with Herta Mªller and Claire Messud
The Swedish Academy described 2009 Nobel Laureate Herta Müller as a writer “who, with the concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose, depicts the landscape of the dispossessed.” Translated into over 40 languages, her works have received worldwide acclaim for their unflinching portrayals of the corrosive effect of political oppression on the human spirit. In her first New York appearance in over a decade, after a reading from her forthcoming novel "The Hunger Angel," Müller will be interviewed by another literary titan, Claire Messud.
2012 PEN World Voices Festival: Writers from around the world convene in New York City to celebrate the power of the written word during the annual PEN World Voices Festival. Checkout the full schedule of events for the week.
