The Jaipur Literature Festival is set to return to New York on September 12 and 13. In 2020, this renowned literary festival expanded its reach globally, introducing online editions of JLF from various countries.

After two virtual editions, JLF New York made its debut in a hybrid format, in collaboration with the Asia Society and the Consulate General of India, New York.

Before the upcoming American installment of the literary festival, JLF International unveiled a teaser that featured highlights from previous events.

Madhur Jaffery, known for her expertise in cuisine and travel writing, will kick off JLF New York 2023 by engaging in a conversation with Sanjoy Roy, the managing director of Teamwork Arts. The discussion, titled "Madhur Jaffrey: A Life in Food," will take place at the National Arts Club from 12:15 to 1:15 PM. Ms. Jaffery, who is also an accomplished actress with roles in films like "And Just Like That" and the critically acclaimed "Shakespeare-Wallah" by Merchant-Ivory, will share insights into her experiences as both an actress and a chef.

One of the standout events at JLF New York is "The Paradoxes of India," featuring a discussion between Seema Sirohi and Shashi Tharoor, a member of parliament from Thiruvananthapuram. This discussion will delve into various aspects of ideas, philosophies, and ideologies in India and is scheduled for September 13 from 6:30 to 7:15 PM.

Registration for JLF New York is currently open and can be accessed at https://jlflitfest.org/. Following its New York stint, the American edition of the Jaipur Literature Festival will head to Houston on September 16 and Colorado on September 22.
