World Literature Festival Recap: In Conversation with Don Miguel Ruiz | En conversación: don Miguel Ruiz
This April, the New York Public Library hosted our first World Literature Festival. Across three weeks, there were a wide range of programs from live storytimes, to book discussions, to author talks.
We hosted an “In Conversation” series of author talks and panels where we invited authors, poets, and leaders of organizations to speak with us. These programs were conducted in many languages and we are pleased to share the recordings now as part of Immigrant Heritage Month 2021 to continue to highlight and celebrate authors that reflect our communities.
On April 19th, the Library hosted author Don Miguel Ruiz for a discussion around his novel The Actor: How to Live an Authentic Life. In conversation with NYPL's Elisa Garcia and Luz Valdez, they talked about his writing style and practice, how to tune out the “noise” in our lives, his other titles, and more!
