PEN America Names Don Its Business Visionary Honoree
PEN America announced Don will be the Business Visionary Honoree at its 2022 literary gala for his “transformative contributions to the world of literature and audio storytelling.”
“Don Katz’s unwavering devotion to the written and spoken word has revolutionized the form that merges them,” PEN America CEO Suzanne Nossel said. “The breadth of voices to which Audible has provided a platform, and the ease and immediacy with which its inventions have allowed listeners to access works both canonical and obscure, unite Don’s vision with PEN America and our tireless protection of expression from powers that seek to hide it away from view and out of earshot.”
Held at the American Museum of Natural History, the gala convenes writers, humanitarians and other people in support of PEN America’s advocacy work to advance free expression around the world.
