"The idea that art is political isn’t a deformation of art. It’s a fulfilment of it," I said. A profile on the cost of speaking out, although I stress how much more this costs other writers.

But there are also benefits to speaking out--a clear conscience, happiness and joy, new allies and friends.
For Al Jazeera, I profiled @vietthanhnguyen.bsky.social about his new book — but this is also about other writers/voices: Gaza, Palestine, Genocide and what it costs to say it out loud. Lost gigs, cancelled talks, vanished friends. Art can’t be neutral in genocide. www.aljazeera.com/news/longfor...
Novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen weighs the costs of speaking against injustice
The Pulitzer Prize winner argues in his new book that it is essential for art ‘to confront what’s happening right now’.
