REFRAMING THE NARRATIVE WITH  NOVELIST ANNA ENQUIST

12 May, 2022. 1 PM ET. Crowdcast. Free.  GET TICKETS

PEN WORLD VOICES FESTIVAL 2022

Elizabeth. "A surprising and touching novel about the loss of children; about a ruined union between a man and a woman; and, above all, about the inadequacy of facts in helping to understand people" (Haarlems Dagblad) Anna Enquist's The Homecoming depicts Elizabeth's life in her own right and centers her in the archive outside of her husband's ambitions. Join the award-winning Dutch author in conversation with PEN World Voices Festival curator Louise Steinman for a virtual author interview that is not to be missed. This program is supported as part of the Dutch Culture USA program by the Consulate General of the Netherlands in New York.

Hear from world-renowned folklorist Maria Tatar on her latest work, "The Heroine with 1001 Faces," which challenges notions of heroism with its male-centric emphasis on achieving glory and immortality. In this conversation with celebrated literary curator Louise Steinman, Tatar shares how heroines wear their curiosity as a badge of honor and how their "mischief making" evidences compassion and concern. Their quests may not take the traditional form of a "hero's journey," but they reveal the values of courage, defiance, and, above all, care.

Live on Crowdcast: Lynell George discusses A Handful of Earth, a Handful of Sky with Louise Steinman, Skylight Books 

A Handful of Earth, A Handful of Sky: The World of Octavia E. Butler offers a blueprint for a creative life from the perspective of award-winning science-fiction writer and "MacArthur Genius" Octavia E. Butler. It is a collection of ideas about how to look, listen, breathe—how to be in the world. This book is about the creative process, but not on the page; its canvas is much larger. Author Lynell George not only engages the world that shaped Octavia E. Butler, she also explores the very specific processes through which Butler shaped herself—her unique process of self-making.
