PEN America has canceled its annual festival after intense pro-Palestinian protest and existential conflict over its core mission. @galbeckerman on the true cost of dismantling an organization dedicated to defending free speech: theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
A lucid, sad piece from @galbeckerman explaining how the Israel-Gaza war has split the literary world and caused the near demise of @PENamerica. theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
“For the protesting writers, this lofty mission represents an unforgivable moral abdication…. But if they have their way and PEN America doesn’t survive, where will these authors turn when they need defending?” Read @galbeckerman on PEN America: theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
.@galbeckerman on PEN America: “Does it really make sense to jettison such an entity without first thinking through what its absence would mean, what a world without PEN, without a defense of expression ... would actually look like?” theatln.tc/toaqJcoY
“The fundamental misperception at the center of this conflict is that PEN America sees itself as a free-speech organization, while the protesters see it as a channel to express their political views.”
“The fundamental misperception at the center of this conflict is that PEN America sees itself as a free-speech organization, while the protesters see it as a channel to express their political views.”
PEN is a free expression group. It has worked worldwide to protect persecuted and prosecuted writers. If it is brought down by this crisis, that is a loss for writers and writing alike.

Here's @galbeckerman with a scoop: Pen America has now canceled its annual World Voices festival, after having just called off a separate literary awards ceremony. "It now seems entirely possible that PEN America may not survive this episode." theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
BREAKING: PEN America has canceled its World Voices festival. The organization has been brought to its knees by the demand that it say the word "genocide." But who does this really hurt in the end? theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
"Rather than viewing the end of mankind as the end of the world, Shelley examines the extinction of humanity on an Earth that keeps on living." @ilanaslightly on a forgotten but very timely novel by Mary Shelley. theatlantic.com/books/archive/…

AI made the novelist Rachel Khong consider limitlessness. Now she believes that human limits are what lead us to create meaningful art. theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
"Considering limitlessness has led me to believe that the impediments of human writers are what lead us to create meaningful art." Beautiful essay on the blood and guts business of writing, from @rachelkhong theatlantic.com/books/archive/…

.@speechboy71 has an important article in @TheAtlantic about western progressives who deny mass rape by Hamas terrorists. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/… It should be read in conjunction with @galbeckerman piece on Fanon, who hailed rape as revolutionary praxis theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
