Jaipur Literature Festival 2015

An outsider who has never been part of the Jaipur Literature Festival wonders what goes on for five days in the Diggi Palace, a 16th century palace part of which has been turned into heritage hotel in Jaipur, Rajasthan. The entire venue transforms into a carnival of writers, poets, authors, journalists, publishers, celebrities and socialites all under the same roof.
Yes, it is that time of the year when the world’s greatest free literary show is held in Jaipur. From Nobel laureates to local language writers, Man Booker prize winners to debut novelists, this  January (21 to 25 January 2015), the most remarkable, witty, sensitive and brilliant collection of authors will come together for five days of readings, debates and discussions at the beautiful Diggi Palace in the Rajasthani capital.

Some popular names to grace the festival this year include- Nobel Laureate Sir. V. S. Naipaul, 2013 Man Booker Prize Winner Eleanor Catton, acclaimed novelist Hanif Kureishi, celebrated American travel writer Paul Theroux, Chetan Bhagat, Javed Akthar, Elizabeth Gilbert (of Eat, Pray, Love fame), Kamila Shamsie, Bettany Hughes, Christina Lamb, Neel Mukherjee (Booker Prize nominee) and William Pinch among a host of other acclaimed writers.

A typical day during the fest starts with four or five different sessions on varied issues running parallel in four or five different venues on the same ground followed by lunch and the same continues even after that. Later in the evening interactive workshops and live music sessions are held to entertain the attendees.
