Flair Symposium: Literature & Change

An alarming rise in book bans. The further disintegration of the publishing industry. An uncertain future that will certainly be shaped by artificial intelligence. There’s a lot going on with literature these days, which makes right now an exceptional time to chew over all this change. Enter the HRC’s Flair Symposium, an interdisciplinary meeting of the minds that spun out of Fleur Cowles’ Flair Magazine and returns for its 14th (but first post-pandemic) symposium. Keynote speakers include Colm Tóibin (Brooklyn) and Ayad Akhtar (Homeland Elegies). Free and open to the public, but registration is required. – Kimberley Jones
