Welcome to a World of Literature

Everything you need to know about the world's great writers and emerging voices is being collected and shared on the English PEN Online World Atlas. Head over to the Atlas to create (or edit) a profile for your favourite author or book, leave a comment or contact another user, and discover your next great read. We believe that great writing has the power to change your life and change the world, one book at a time.

The Atlas is proud to be partnering with the Hay Festival's Beirut39 contest, celebrating Beirut's year as UNESCO World Book Capital, to find the hottest authors under 40 of Arabic origin. Nominations are open until August 24th, 2009.

Coming Soon...

Next week there will be more translations, more new authors, more news from the Arab publishing world... but first - a short break. I'll be back with work from Fatena al-Gharra, Khaled Jum'a, Naser Rabah and Yousef Alqedra from Wednesday 18th Feb.
