During the Festival, Namita Gokhale, author and Festival Co-director, will launch her new novel, Jaipur Journals. Namita Gokhale is the author of 18 books, including 9 works of fiction. In conversation with diplomat and author Shashi Tharoor and poet and lyricist Javed Akhtar, she will discuss the themes of her new novel and how her two personas - writer and Festival director - come together in it.

In a special session titled 'The Anarchy', historian, author and Festival Co-director William Dalrymple will unfold his riveting tale of the first global corporate power, the East Indian Company and its ruthless, methodical plunder of India. Introduced by eminent author Manu S. Pillai. the session will tellthe remarkable story of how one of the world's most magnificent empires disintegrated and came to be replaced by a dangerously unregulated private company, based thousands of miles overseas in one small office, five windows wide, and answerable only to its distant shareholders.
In a session focused on fiction, five of the world's celebrated novelists- Elizabeth Gilbert, Leila Slimani, Avni Doshi, John Lancaster and Howard Jacobson share their insights on the art of the novel with Damian Barr.
