When a name is given to an adult, it is usually given based on the life that person has lived. That name is a statement about the person he or she has become.

    NEVERTHELESS HE SPERSISTED PEN CANADA ANNUAL REPORT 2018/2019 60 PEN CANADA Contents 1 INTRODUCTION 2 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE 6 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE 10 NASRIN SOTOUDEH 14 HONORARY MEMBERS RELEASED 16 ANNA POLITKOVSKAYA 20 WRITERS IN PERIL REPORT 22 LIU XIA 26 HONORARY MEMBERS 32 LYDIA CACHO 36 LITERARY EVENTS 40 Q&A WITH TIM BOUSQUET 46 MARTHA KUMSA 50 WALKING IN HER SHOES 52 MEMBERS, DONORS, AND PARTNERS 61 PEN CANADA INTRODUCTION “The place for literature,” writes Arundhati Roy, “is built by writers and readers. It’s a fragile place in some ways, but an indestructible one. When it is broken, we rebuild it. Because we need shelter… Shelter of all kinds.” In the last four years, under the leadership of Jennifer Clement, its first female president, PEN International has focused on the shelter that freedom of expression ought to offer women. A manifesto adopted at the 2017 Congress condemns the “legal, physical, sexual, psychological, verbal and digital” violence levelled at women writers and journalists around the world, and warns that “the act of silencing a person [denies] their existence. It is a kind of death.” The Women’s Manifesto concludes that “Humanity is both wanting and bereft without the full and free expression of women’s creativity and knowledge.” This report pays tribute to five women who embody the value, and fragility, of that creativity and knowledge. Our title comes from a minor political skirmish in the US senate. In 2017 Elizabeth Warren, a senator from Massachusetts, read parts of a 30-year-old letter which condemned Jeff Sessions, the candidate for US attorney general, for using his office “to chill the free exercise of the vote by black citizens.” Warren was warned that the United States Senate rules forbid imputing to a colleague “any conduct or motive that is unworthy or unbecoming.” Unfazed, she continued.
