Join PEN

These are times in which many writers are feeling the need to join and perhaps even influence the great debate about our disturbed and disturbing times. PEN, with its distinguished background of fighting for free speech and against persecution and censorship, is a great place from which to enter that debate.

-Salman Rushdie, International PEN member, April 2004
