New York City has always been a powerful attractor for migrants, transplants, and diverse communities of every imaginable type. But this city is only one of many that serves as a crossroad and meeting point—especially for writers. We discuss the special relationship between cities and diaspora communities, with writers and migrants from around the world. Participants include writers from Turkey, Austria, Serbia, and elsewhere.
