Burn This Book: PEN Writers Speak Out on the Power of the Word by Toni Morrison

4.0

Eleven novelists answer the question, "why write," i.e. why do humans tell stories, and especially "why bear witness" and the artist's responsibility to do just that. Short, 128 pages, and fascinating as each writer draws from his/her own political reality to expound on the motivations and aethstetics of the literature of "witness."
