PEN World Voices

After attending the PEN World Voices gathering, Maud Newton files a thorough report on the "Faith and Reason" presentation by some of the world's literary all-stars. You'll find additional coverage of the World Voices festival at Bud Parr's excellent MetaxuCafé LitBlog Network.

By the way, if you are a literary blogger, consider signing up over at MetaxuCafé; an affiliation with the site sends traffic your way. There's a KidLit category, too.

World Voices' sponsoring organization is the PEN American Center, "an association of writers working to advance literature, defend free expression, and foster international literary fellowship."
