PEN World Voices Festival 2019

African American, Argentine, BOOKS, Chilean, FESTIVALS, Indigenous, Mexican, Nicaraguan Archive, Puerto Rican, St Mark's Church / May 6, 2019 by Editors

The world’s thinkers are at the 2019 PEN World Voices Festival of international literature at multiple venues in all five New York City boroughs, daily May 6-14 and Sunday, May 19, 2019.

There are 75 different events this year. Many are free.


PEN World Voices Festival

This is America’s leading international literary festival. It is important even if you are not a reader or writer.

The producer, PEN America, advocates for freedom of speech and the freedom to think.

The Festival was founded to increase dialogue between the United States and the world after the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York City. It was founded by Salman Rushdie, Esther Allen and Michael Roberts.

“PEN America stands at the intersection of literature and human rights to protect open expression in the United States and worldwide.” ~ PEN America


PEN World Voices Festival 2019

Looking through the artists and the events, you can’t help but recognize that we are all working through the same joys and sorrows. It doesn’t matter where you are from. Humanity and inhumanity are international.

Since Latin culture is the foundation of Western Civilization, it is sprinkled throughout the festival. These are some of the overtly Latin events.

The Library of Borges

Borges is one of the founding fathers of Argentine literature. ‘The Library of Babel’ is one of his most famous stories.

Panel discussion with Immaculada Lara Bonilla, Rodrigo Rey Rosa and Rodrigo Fresán.
