In the frenzied life of today and an extreme dominance of digital media, DELHI LITERATURE FESTIVAL calls out to everyone to reflect and immerse into the world of fiction, non-fiction, poetry and even plays in the three days. The festival this year will appeal to a wide array of audience - the academicians and the casual readers, the book-geeks and the occasional browsers, the serious and the aspiring writers, established authors and the young writers.
Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts will turn into a unique space for words and ideas, with Mati Ghar lawns in front of the auditorium being transformed into a literary village with various talk shows, workshops, exhibitions and fun activities planned there.
Literature is just not inked paper between covers, but much more and beyond. Maintaining its erudite atmosphere, DELHI LITERATURE FESTIVAL will invite a wide gamut of speakers - authors, poets, literary thinkers and entrepreneurs from across the country. Dramatic readings, literary criticism, graphic novels, erotica, power of new media, playwriting and poetry, the festival promises to be an amalgamation of all.

The start of Delhi Literature Festival is a very good initiation. In Jaipur we rejoice in the realm of literature for five days aloof from the husble-bustle of day-to-day life. Publicity about Delhi Literature Festival was little. I could know about this, this day on 08.02.2014, hence could not manage to visit the festival 2 days.
