This year's congress, the first in New York in two decades, will draw some 700 PEN members from places as distant as South Korea and Argentina; among them will be three Nobel prizewinners and such luminaries as Günter Grass, Nadine Gordimer, Octavio Paz and Eugène Ionesco. The weeklong festivities will feature more than 30 panels on subjects as diverse as Translating Whitman, Alienation and the State, Science Fiction, and Censorship in the U.S.A. Total tab for the event, according to PEN: around...
...courtship seemed to be going so well. Last month, Turkey rolled out the red carpet for the European Union's outgoing Commissioner for Enlargement, Günter Verheugen, who was on his final swing through the country before his Oct. 6 recommendation on whether Turkey should be invited to start E.U. membership talks.

Günter Grass has come out against the reforms, and many parents haven't bothered to learn the new rules. Susan Haselbach, 42, a Berliner with three school-age children, admits that "many of the new regulations I simply don't understand. The whole thing appeared so stupid that I refused...
...young, would-be authors, their manuscripts clutched in sweaty hands, prowled the corridors in search of a publisher. For leisure-time visitors who haven't come to bargain but simply to enjoy themselves, there are thousands of events to choose from. Writers from Paul Coehlo to Günter Grass will read, discuss or autograph their work, and panel discussions, seminars and lectures ("Promotion of Literature in Lesser Known Languages") cater to those with education on their mind. Award ceremonies - the 2003 Peace Prize goes to Susan Sontag on Oct. 12 - bring some glamour to the otherwise business-oriented venture...
