Welcome to the fourth annual PEN World Voices New York Festival of International Literature. This year’s theme of Public Lives/Private Lives couldn't be more timely: How do we draw a line between our private and public selves? When must we tell private stories for the public good? How, as readers, writers, and citizens, do we confront threats to our privacy? What is still considered private in the Internet age? Do we need to redefine the meaning of public and private in the 21st century? The writers in this year’s Festival will mine this rich theme in a variety of literary conversations, panels, readings, and performances.
