Book Box | FOMO and feasting at the Jaipur Lit Fest

Hindustan Times  

I can’t believe I am in Jaipur. The sessions of the day are over, but people linger on, carrying JLF cloth bags, taking pictures under a canopy of colourful streamers, chattering and drinking chai in clay kulhads. I meet a friend who tells me about the electrifying sessions of the day – Booker Prize-winning Paul Lynch with Prophet Song, Bonnie Garmus with Lessons in Chemistry and a session on Intertidal, a coast and marsh diary, and I instantly feel bad for having missed them. Every day, every hour, has 5 sessions going on simultaneously – so it’s choices, choices and then some FOMO. More stories soon, on the exciting JLF authors I had conversations with - Ben Macintyre, Patrick Radden Keefe, Mary Beard, Vivek Shanbhag, Ivy Ngeow, Hernan Diaz and Katie Kitamura.
