Literary Panel at JLF Toronto

The panel discussion on “Hyphenations: The Home and the World", at the internationally renowned Jaipur Literary Festival, is about some of the topics closest to my heart: migration, displacement, alienation, and belonging. Don’t miss this free virtual event, streaming on Sunday, November 20 from 10 to 10:40 a.m. @JLF International on Facebook or JLF International on YouTube. I will be in conversation with literary superstars Anar Ali, Diksha Basu, Shauna Singh Baldwin, and Siddhesh Inamdar. Find out more information at https://jlflitfest.org/toronto.

Identities morph and change with borders and geographies. How do diasporic writers address displacement-driven themes of rootlessness, marginalization, fragmentation, alienation, nostalgia, assimilation, adaptation, multiculturalism, and more in their work? A fascinating session on the locational and cultural identities of diasporic writers and the ways in which this blends into their storytelling and quest for belonging.
