The spirit of the iconic Jaipur Literature Festival, called “the world’s greatest literary festival,” returns to the Triangle. This year, it’s coming to Meredith College and NC State Centennial Campus. JLF North Carolina is partnering with Artsplosure to produce an even bigger and better festival. The festival travels across countries and continents with a caravan of thinkers, poets, influencers, balladeers, and raconteurs. In the last two years, the Triangle has hosted such blockbuster writers as Pulitzer Prize winners Jhumpa Lahiri and Kathleen Duvall, Booker Prize winner Kiran Desai, actor and writer Kal Penn, writer and thinker Shashi Tharoor and historian and podcaster William Dalrymple.
