The
Library of Exileopened at the British Museum in March and closed ten days later. Then it re-opened and re-closed. And so on… But the public programme hosted by the museum in conjunction with PEN went online and became free. And so many thousands of people heard extraordinary voices talking about exile and translation, migration and literature. There were questions and debate and a sense of a great diaspora of engaged people who would never have bought a ticket for a talk at 6.30pm in Bloomsbury. The last event had people from thirty countries. I find this wonderful. And profoundly hopeful.
