PEN World Voices Festival of International Literature Dystopian Wastelands Claire Vaye Watkins, Jeff VanderMeer, Emily St. John Mandel & Alexander Weinstein

About This Show

From cataclysmic natural disasters to unexpected plagues, one thing is clear: the world is going to end, and soon! How do writers imagine a post-apocalyptic society and what does this tell us of our relationship with the environment, science, and the unknown? An eclectic panel of writers who are either masters of the genre or are exploring its possibilities – how do they imagine a dystopian world in their novels in the age of climate change?
