On Wednesday, August 4, PEN American Center is presenting a special evening dedicated to free expression and America's core freedoms. The event, “State of Emergency: Unconventional Readings,” will feature a distinguished lineup of participants, including Laurie Anderson, Paul Auster, Russell Banks, Michael Cunningham, Don DeLillo, Joan Didion, Jonathan Safran Foer, A.M. Homes, Margo Jefferson, Edward P. Jones, Walter Dean Myers, Salman Rushdie, Monique Truong, Kurt Vonnegut, and others to be announced.
