As we @PENamerica reel from the horrific news of the attack against Salman Rushdie—brilliant writer, free expression defender, & past PEN President—I can think of no better way to honor him than with his own incisive & urgent & words from our 2022 Emergency Writers Congress:

A bedtime story: Rainy Atlanta day. Blessedly all outdoor sports are canceled. I fed the 4 offspring. As we sit at the dinner table, there’s a knock at the door. Our general rule is not to open the door. But I always look. A young man is standing back from the door.

The trauma essay touches on the storytelling trend that I have also found wanting; mainly that I want more narratives (both fiction and nonfiction) that aren’t centered around/driven solely by the Momentum of Revelation, which inevitably is tied to the past and trauma.
