Christopher Kremmer on greed
|
Christopher Kremmer, author of Bamboo Palace, The Carpet Wars and Inhaling the Mahatma, begins the 2008 Sydney PEN '3 Writers' series of talks with an address on the subject of greed.
PEN is an international organisation that exists to highlight the plight of writers and journalists who are being persecuted because of their work. The organisation also works with writers to highlight wider injustices and inequities in society. It's with this in mind that Sydney PEN have used this series of talks to focus on greed, survival and courage.
The second speaker in the series will be Melissa Lukashenko tackling the topic of survival and then Anna Funder on the subject of courage. All three talks will be published as an essay collection in the first half of 2009.
