Dear Friend,
In honor of PEN America's 100th anniversary, I'm thrilled to invite you to a once-in-a-century event—a landmark symposium featuring an extraordinary lineup of literary luminaries. This event has been met with an overwhelming response, so I urge you to reserve your seats quickly.
Please join me and PEN America President Ayad Akhtar on Monday, Sept. 12 for an afternoon of public conversation with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Margaret Atwood, Jennifer Finney Boylan, Dave Eggers, and Salman Rushdie. We'll gather for an interactive opportunity to connect, reflect, and mobilize for a set of raging battles that go to the heart of PEN America's mission and evoke the most bracing moments in our history. Free speech is being challenged through book bans, educational gag orders, online harassment, disinformation, self-censorship, and intensifying authoritarian tactics in use around the world. We have brought together some of PEN America's most prescient and visionary literary minds to help make sense of the moment and plot our collective future.
I hope to see you at the New-York Historical Society as we celebrate this momentous year for PEN America.
My best,

This event is presented in conjunction with PEN America at 100: a Century of Defending the Written Word ([link removed]) . On view at the New-York Historical Society through Oct. 9, this installation draws material from our rich archives to provide an in-depth look at how we evolved from a post-World War I dining club into today’s leading free expression advocacy organization.
