Sheng Keyi, Antony Loewenstein and Futhi Ntshingila spoke to Mervyn Sloman about the responsibility of the writer on the final afternoon of the Open Book Festival.
The international panel went into the intended and inspected responsibility of the author, as well as the place of storytelling in social responsibility and activism. The panelists also investigated the impact of writing on the reader.
