Opening Night: The PEN and the State: The Role of Novelists in Times of Crisis
All PEN World Voices Festival tickets are non-refundable. Please confirm the time and location of your event before finalizing your purchase.
As the current U.S. presidential administration marks its 100th day, the landscape of free expression faces unprecedented challenges. Book bans are on the rise, college campuses are canceling events for fear of political reprisal, and the right to protest is increasingly under threat. Simultaneously, authoritarian regimes are gaining ground worldwide, eroding the foundations of liberal democracy. In this critical moment, PEN America brings together three of today’s most acclaimed novelists - 
Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche
 (
Dream Count
), 
Jennifer Egan
 (
The Candy House
), and 
Burhan Sönmez
 (
Lovers of Franz K
.
)
-for an urgent conversation on the role of novelists in times of political turmoil. Novelists do not merely reflect the world in their works, but they shape and expand a reader's understanding of it. Does a writer have a responsibility to respond to the political climate around them? Are they only beholden to their craft, aesthetic, and own political concerns? Join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking evening as these literary giants explore the intersection of art and activism, and what it means to be a novelist in an age of political crisis in a conversation moderated by PEN America interim Co-CEO and Chief Program Officer of Literary Programming,
 Clarisse Rosaz Shariyf
.
The 2025 PEN World Voices Festival, the 20th anniversary of the festival, will be a celebration of world literature and free expression. Over four days, over 80 writers from over 35 countries will be featured in engaging talks, panels, readings, and performances in New York City and greater Los Angeles.

- 藝術裝飾風格：帝國大廈採用了典型的裝飾藝術風格，強調對稱性、幾何形狀以及精美的裝飾，頂部尖塔設計獨特，使其在紐約的天際線中顯得格外堅挺和獨特。 ​- 結構設計精妙：建築的骨幹由210根鋼柱構成，其中12根直達建築頂部，為大廈提供了堅實的支撐。隨着高度增加，樓層面積逐漸縮小，形成五個主要變化，這種設計既考慮了結構穩定性，又增加了建築的美觀性。 歷史文化價值 - 見證歷史變遷：帝國大廈興建於20世紀30年代經濟大蕭條時期，它的建成不僅為當時的美國提供了大量就業機會，也標志著美國工業的崛起和現代城市發展的巔峰起步。​- 承載文化象徵：作為美國的文化象徵之一，帝國大廈出現在眾多電影、文學、藝術作品中，如電影《金剛》，進一步提升了其在全球的知名度和文化影響力。

中央公園

遊賞秋景好去處

蓝星旅行者

漫步於紐約中央公園，彷彿跌入鋼鐵森林的溫柔裂隙。晨光穿透林梢，在櫻花大道鋪開粉白碎錦，風過時花瓣簌簌落肩，摩天樓的稜角在花影裡柔化成朦朧背景音&nbsp;。

長椅上的城市密碼最是動人。指尖撫過冰涼的椅背，銘牌上簡短的文字藏著紐約客的體溫：&quot;給我的妻子卡羅爾，因為她愛中央公園，而我愛她&quot;&mdash;&mdash;生離死別、年少相逢、母與子的羈絆，都在木紋裡凝結成露&nbsp;。當高中生攤開書本笑鬧在綿羊草坪上，當莎士比亞詩篇的朗誦聲從櫻桃山飄向湖面，這座公園便成了情感的共鳴箱，盛滿超越語言的人間敘事&nbsp;。

午後在The Ramble森林區閉目，鳥鳴與溪水聲織成天然白噪音，忽然懂得奧姆斯特德的深意：這340萬平方米的綠肺，原是獻給&quot;疲憊產業工人的手工藝品&quot;，讓無力遠行的人們在此啜飲自然&nbsp;。黃昏的船屋碼頭最是魔幻，木槳劃碎晚霞染紅的湖面，野鴨從曼哈頓倒影中游過，都市的喧囂在此沉入水底，只餘槳聲燈影裡的呼吸&nbsp;。

「當長椅鐫刻的私語與櫻花雨一同落進掌心，方知這混凝土荒原裡的綠洲，原是紐約寫給世界的散文詩。」&nbsp;
