NYT: PEN Gala finds replacement hosts
http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/20...pen-gala/?_r=1

Upgrades, at that:

Quote:
Neil Gaiman, Art Spiegelman, and Alison Bechdel are among writers who have agreed to be table hosts at the PEN American Center gala on Tuesday, replacing those who dropped out to protest the presentation of the group’s “freedom of expression courage award” to the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
Quote:
The newly named hosts also include George Packer, Azar Nafisi and Alain Mabanckou, a French-Congolese novelist who will officially present the award.

“The Charlie Hebdo PEN award is for courage. The courage to work after the 2011 firebombing of the offices, the courage to put out their magazine in the face of murder,” said Mr. Gaiman in an email to The Times. “If we cannot applaud that, then we might as well go home…I’ll be proud to host a table on Tuesday night.”
More at the source.

Great writer, great stand.

Neil Gaiman. Fantastic writer too. I agree, they have only gained in this fiasco.
