In a world where distractions abound and our attention is fragmented, literature offers a unique opportunity to slow down and recontextualize humanity's place. This spring, at the New Orleans Book Festival, The Atlantic will deepen its exploration of the American idea through the lens of literature. We will convene some of the 21st century's most celebrated authors, essayists, and poets to examine the complexities of today's cultural landscape. With a blend of historical urgency and nuance, we'll unpack how these bold written works highlight past and present injustices and paint a vision for a more equitable future to sustain the promise of the American idea.
