PHOTO VOYEURISM



Ever wonder what was in Chuck Palahniuk's basement? We asked PEN Members to send us photos of their private lives so you could have a look. Join us in a mixed-media experiment to explore the intersection of the public and private, the visual and written.

>> Check out the pictures and submit a narrative.

Family—that intimate nexus where private and public lives intersect; it’s where our identities are formed, where we have our first experiences of shared history and common fate. In an age of migration and global movement, the family unit has been strained, invigorated, and profoundly changed. Join writers P.F. Thomése, György Dragomán, and Yael Hedaya for a reflection on the role of family in their lives and work and on the challenges of defining a modern approach to the family experience in literature.

Introduced by Habitus Editor Joshua Ellison.
