Dystopia Gets Personal: Laila Lalami & Megha Majumdar @ Strand Book Store 828 Broadway Third Floor, Rare Books Room New York, NY 10003
May 1 all-day

Overview
A conversation on how surveillance, climate crisis, and inequality shape our most intimate lives.

Dystopia Gets Personal: Laila Lalami & Megha Majumdar
All PEN World Voices Festival tickets are non-refundable. Please confirm the time and location of your event before finalizing your purchase.

A woman is incarcerated indefinitely because an algorithm predicts she might be a threat. A woman is fleeing climate disaster only to have her passport stolen by a desperate thief trying to feed his family.

In Laila Lalami’s The Dream Hotel and Megha Majumdar’s A Guardian and a Thief, the line between dystopian fiction and reflections of our current reality is blurred. Tackling surveillance culture, the algorithms absorbing our data, climate catastrophe, and global inequality, these novels remind us that political and societal forces intimately shape our daily lives.

Moderated by PEN America Co-CEO Clarisse Rosaz Shariyf, this discussion will look at the collision between the future and the present, and between the personal and the political.

The 2026 PEN World Voices Festival is a celebration of world literature and free expression. The 2026 edition will be the 21st World Voices Festival. Over four days, over 140 writers from over 40 countries will be featured in 40+ engaging talks, panels, readings, and activations in New York City and greater Los Angeles.

Visit https://pen.org/world-voices-festival/ for more information about the entire festival, as well as PEN America.

ACCESSIBILITY:
This venue is ADA compliant. The space is accessible via elevator.

Offsite: Isabel Klee presents Dogs, Boys, and Other Things I’ve Cried About @ First Unitarian Church 119 Pierrepont Brooklyn, NY 11201

From the social media superstar behind @SimonSits, Isabel Klee—known for her heartwarming tales of dog rescue—comes an utterly winning memoir about a twentysomething woman’s search for true love in New York City and the dogs who helped her find it.

A Jersey girl by birth, Isabel Klee had always wanted to live in New York City. At age 20, she got her chance, ditching her college upstate and moving into a grungy basement apartment in Manhattan. Dog-obsessed since childhood, her first post-grad job was becoming an assistant to a dog photographer, and something clicked into place: a career focused on helping dogs was the new dream.

Isabel quickly found a passion for rehabilitating rescue dogs and helping them get adopted. At the same time, she was caught up in a whirlwind of friendships, parties, fickle boyfriends and grand romances, which she recounts in honest, tender, and sometimes devastating chapters about the search for love and belonging.

Isabel’s first true love, though, was Simon, a fluffy puppy who’d been saved from the meat trade. As the highs and lows of her twenties hit Isabel in wave after wave, it was Simon who kept her grounded. Together, Isabel and Simon created a community of dog-lovers and a tight-knit group of friends pursuing their dreams.

In this honest and moving memoir, Isabel weaves together the stories of her foster dogs—and the challenges she helped them overcome—with tales of complicated relationships, hard decisions, and great loves in New York City, all leading to a happy ending not only for the rescue pups, but for Isabel herself.

Isabel Klee is a writer and content creator. She documents her experiences rehabilitating dogs on social media through her writing and storytelling. She lives in Brooklyn with her fiancé, Jacob, her dog, Simon, and a rotating cast of foster dogs.
