For me it was a moment of real joy – and a reminder of the extraordinary power of writing to link us across boundaries of all kinds.
I also had the privilege of taking my Incomprehension Workshop to the festival. The audience, consisting largely of university students, proved to be the most imaginative and receptive I have ever worked with.
Their responses and reactions were incredibly creative and warm. They taught me anew the value of this work, enthusing me for the final stages of drafting my next book on reading, drawing on my work with incomprehension over the last few years, details of which I’ll be sharing here soon.

I accepted an invitation as a speaker/panelist at the Dibrugarh University International Literary Festival (DUILF). The event was being staged by the University in association with the Guwahati-based Foundation for Arts, Culture and Literature (FOCAL). Rahul, as well as the entire team at FOCAL, must be applauded for the sterling effort in staging this well-organized event...

The festival is organised by the Foundation for Culture, Arts and Literature (FOCAL) and curated by the irrepressible Rahul Jain and his team. The setting was Dibrugargh University in Assam - a region best know to the outside world for its tea, and the extraordinary braided Brahmputra river which flows through Tibet, North East India and Bangladesh. There were 85 speakers from more than 17 countries in attendance with university and college students and staff making up the huge audiences.
