1. Freedom of Speech
The Reith Lectures
Freedom of Speech Matters a Lot to Me
I think that freedom of speech is essential if we are going to have literature. We cannot not have our human stories, and I think the problems that we have with speech today, it's almost the death nail of literary and other kinds of cultural production. So that's why I'm particularly interested. In my introductory remarks, I did say that here it's dominated freedom of speech debates by this idea of cancel culture, but in other countries you can actually lose your life. Well, we're going to have a chance to ask you many more questions, but for now I would like to welcome you as our re-lecture at the lectern is all yours.
