The Swedish Academy described 2009 Nobel Laureate Herta Müller as a writer “who, with the concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose, depicts the landscape of the dispossessed.” Translated into more than 40 languages, her work has received worldwide acclaim for its unflinching portrayal of the corrosive effect of political oppression on the human spirit. In her first New York appearance in more than a decade, Müller will be interviewed by American novelist-critic Claire Messud. The evening will also feature a reading from The Hunger Angel, Müller’s new novel. For more information on this year’s Festival, visit pen. Tickets: $20/$15 PEN Members and students with valid ID.
