Please join the Dayton Literary Peace Prize Foundation for a once-in-a-lifetime literary event celebrating the 2025 winning authors and the 20th anniversary of the Prize. On Saturday, November 8, the Victoria Theatre stage will host national and international authors whose works are recognized as advancing peace through literature. Dayton Literary Peace Prize- and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gilbert King will moderate the panel.
Additionally, the 2025 Holbrooke recipient is renowned author Salman Rushdie. Following the panel conversation, Rushdie will be interviewed one-on-one live on stage by David Rohde, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and national security and law editor at NBC News. This conversation is an incredible opportunity to hear first-hand about Rushdie and his life’s work as one of the most profound and impactful authors in the world.
