About Event

The World Voices Festival, founded in 2004 by Salman Rushdie, Michael Roberts, and Esther Allen, is PEN America’s celebration of international literature and writers. Honoring our organization’s hundred-year history of uniting writers and readers to celebrate creative expression and the freedom to write for all, the Festival was founded in the wake of 9/11 to counter U.S. isolationism and broaden the channels of dialogue between the United States and the world.

GREEK LESSONS: HAN IN CONVERSATION WITH KATIE KITAMURAHan Kang’s Booker Prize-winning 2016 novel The Vegetarian solidified her place as a master of the surreal, and is a powerful reminder that what makes surrealist narratives so haunting is the way they illuminate concerns that are real and urgent. Kang, one of South Korea’s leading literary voices, joins the World Voices Festival for the North American launch of her new novel, Greek Lessons. Following a female protagonist who loses her voice and seeks out learning Greek as a possible remedy, the book is a poignant exploration of language, the nature of pain, and the need to move on. Join Kang in conversation with Katie Kitamura, author of Intimacies, for this fascinating conversation of the self and the myriad ways we seek to heal.

GREEK LESSONS: HAN KANG IN CONVERSATION WITH KATIE KITAMURA

희랍어 시간: 한강X케이티 키타무라 대담한강의 2016년 부커상 수상작인 소설 '채식주의자'는 그녀를 초현실주의의 대가로 자리매김하게 했으며, 그녀는 작품을 통해 현실적이고 비중있는 문제를 반영하는 초현실적인 서사를 구현합니다. 대한민국을 대표하는 문학가로서, 한강은 여성 주인공이 목소리를 잃고 그리스어를 배워가며 치유해가는 과정을 그린 '희랍어 시간'의 북미 출간을 위해 PEN 월드 보이스 페스티벌에 참가합니다. 이 책은 언어, 고통의 본질, 그리고 이를 극복해나가야 할 필요성에 대한 감동적인 내용을 담고 있습니다. 한강과 함께 소설 'Intimacies'의 저자인 케이티 키타무라가 대화하는 이 자리에서 우리는 자아의 실현과 치유를 위해 끊임없이 시도하는 방식을 고민하게 될 것입니다.
