PEN WORLD VOICES FESTIVAL: Panel Discussion | Fame and the Writer

This year marks the 8th edition of the PEN World Voices of International Literature Festival. Returning every year since 2004, this major festival has established its place in the hearts and minds of New Yorkers, with the help of the world’s most compelling writers. The 2012 PEN World Voices Festival runs from April 30th to May 6th, featuring scores of writers from Austria, Russia, Germany, Puerto Rico, The Lebanon, Mexico, Spain, Denmark, Israel, Bosnia Herzegovina, Colombia, and the United States.

For this event at Deutsches Haus at NYU, titled “Fame and the Writer”, European writers Daniel Kehlmann, Melinda Nadj Aboni, and Jaume Cabré will engage in a conversation about the alienating effects of seeing one’s life reflected in the public eye.
