My Favorite Photo from the PEN World Voices Festival
All in all we had 38 posts on the PEN festival this year at MetaxuCafé. As soon as I can grab another moment, I’ll post a few more things and maybe my own thoughts on Friday’s Three Musketeers event, but in the meantime, I wanted to share my favorite photo from the Festival. Mary’s shot of the ViewMaster presentation at the Believer event.

There’s a picture from the fifties I’ve seen that this reminds me of, although the earlier picture was of people with 3-d glasses, I believe.

Such a long time since I have read any Muldoon. I will look for that WZ poem. Thanks.

I love Ish (not least for his continued advocacy for children of war around the world) and Open Book TV. And of course Madiba is always great. I think I could have done with fewer mystical echoing flutes-of-sadness though.
About the ICC: such an important struggle, and so anathema to the idea of American Exceptionalism we are all raised on. That, along with the debate over humanitarian intervention, look to be the defining international issues of our time exactly because they cannot be reduced to simple dichotomies, or even unambiguous moral stances. By which I mean to say I’m looking forward to the film.

Thanks, Sven. Who knew I’d be blog of the week somewhere, anywhere… Nice to know.

Oh, yes! I wish I’d been there, but Mary really captured something fun. A great photo.
My iPhone pic of the Three Musketeers is hilariously horrible, but I cannot bear to trash it….
