Best European Fiction: Noëlle Revaz
Hosted by Aleksandr Hemon, the “Best European Fiction” program has become a staple of the PEN World Voices Festival. This year the event returned with three new authors—Noëlle Revaz (Switzerland), Patrick Boltshauser (Liechtenstein), and Róbert Gál (Slovakia)—reading from their work, discussing their ideas about writing, and sharing their perspectives on what’s happening in literature in their parts of the world.
