International PEN presents Free the Word!
A Celebration of World Literature
Meet the great writers you know and the great writers you don’t …
11 – 13 April 2008
Come and feast upon a weekend of events that promises to engage with stories from all over the globe in unexpected and extraordinary encounters. Be part of an intimate conversation, a raucous debate, a provocative cabaret, or just listen to dialogues between eminent and emerging writers as they discuss their role as creators, thinkers and interpreters in society.
International PEN is the worldwide association of writers that represents the conscience of world literature, defends freedom of expression and promotes the development of a community of writers across cultures and languages.
Free the Word! is taking place at the National Theatre, The Old Vic, Southbank Centre and Young Vic.
