Conversation with Ian McEwan and Steven Pinker: PEN World Voices Festival May 3, 2008

Join us for a meeting of two of the most engaging literary and scientific minds at work today, when Booker-prize winning novelist Ian McEwan and internationally acclaimed Canadian-American Harvard academic, experimental psychologist, cognitive scientist, and popular science author Steven Pinker (pictured) engage in a wide-ranging discussion about writing and the mind. They will discuss the patterns and conventions of language and how these shape our thinking.
