Catherine C PEN Visit 4

My fourth visit at PEN was an interview with Stacy in her office. I would say it was more of a discussion than an interview. We talked about the festival PEN was organizing, which was, ironically, the same day as our teach in. We also talked about a lot of imprisoned writers and about censorship in America. We compared it to censorship in other countries, and Stacy made a point about how even though the struggle was less known, it was still there. She explained how in a lot of places censorship is used and widely known for a reason. They want people to be afraid, they use the fear to their advantage. The difference is, in America, the censorship is concealed.
