Festival Neue Literatur director Brittany Hazelwood, novelist Francine Prose and FNL curator and Grove senior editor Peter Blackstock participated in last Sunday's "Silence Is Violence: LGBTQ Writing in a Fractured Political Climate" event at McNally Jackson Books in Manhattan. In its eighth year, the Festival Neue Literatur brings German- and English-language writers together for a series of events in New York City. This year, with the theme "Queer as Volk," the festival focused on sexuality, writing and translating from the margins, and today's political climate.
