Adelaide Festival Centre has secured an international leg of the world’s most influential book event as part of the 2018 OzAsia Festival

The Adelaide offshoot of the Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF) will take place from Friday 9 November to Sunday 11 November, the final weekend of OzAsia, which begins on 25 October.

JLF will see more than 50 prominent writers and thinkers visit the capital of South Australia, including Indian author Shobhaa De and renowned travel writer William Dalrymple, who founded the event.

Described by Dalrymple as a “super-university pitching its tents”, JLF, the world’s largest free celebration of literature, will also visit New York, Houston and Boulder in the United States, and London in the United Kingdom.

Adelaide Festival Centre CEO Douglas Gauiter said the event is a massive coup for the city. “The completely free JLF program will give audiences the opportunity to surround themselves with some of the best literary minds from around the world,” Gauiter said.

Dear Reader,

The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.

Thank you for your support.

Best wishes,
Team The Indian Sun
