This year confirmed speakers so far include William Dalrymple, Meghnad Desai, Paulo Lemos Horta, Suki Kim, Ashis Ray, Suhel Seth, Preti Taneja and Shashi Tharoor.
Last year, the British Library was infused with excitement and repartee for two days and had resounded with sessions on PG Wodehouse, the Beatles in India, travel, migrations, fiction-writing, the Partition, and poetry.
Speakers ranged from Shashi Tharoor, Karan Johar, Tahmima Anam, Arundhathi Subramanian, Philip Norman, Roy Moxham and others.
The iconic ZEE Jaipur Literature Festival takes place every January in the Pink city of Jaipur as writers, publishers, literature-lovers, friends, patrons, intellectuals, influencers, students and the press converge at the Diggi Palace for five days of a stunning celebration of literature, oral and performing arts, books and ideas, debate and dialogue.
Directed by writers Namita Gokhale and William Dalrymple, the festival was founded in 2006, and attracts some of the world’s leading authors, thinkers and performers, and huge crowds.
