Book launch event for The Uncaged Voices, an anthology by the PEN Writers in Exile | 2023

On Thursday, October 24, 2023, Cormorant Books hosted the official launch of the new anthology “The Uncaged Voice: Stories by Writers in Exile”. 📚 About the book: Through first-person essays and short stories, contributors to The Uncaged Voice share their brutal yet heart-rending tales of fleeing oppressive regimes of their homelands, where freedom of expression and the press is an ideal, not a reality, and where totalitarian forces attempt to subjugate, if not annihilate, all forms of dissension. From war correspondents reporting across dangerous “no-go zones,” to female journalists escaping conservative and patriarchal tyranny, to independent newspaper editors risking imprisonment or worse to criticize authoritarian states — these fifteen writers-in-exile continue to write, sharing both the suppressed truths of their past and the hopes they have for the future in Canada, their chosen place of asylum.
